Melodies & Memories has operated for 33 years on Gratiot Avenue in Eastpointe, stocking vinyl, CDs in security cases, signed records, 45s, lunch boxes, and vintage music t-shirts. The plastic CD holders prevent theft but complicate inspection; discs are clean. Bargains turn up near the register—one shopper found a CD for 95 cents.

The store is deep enough to spend hours in, though it focuses on rock and pop. Classical records and 8-track tapes don't move here.
