If you have a question about popular music, stroll

If you have a question about popular music, stroll on down to 11 West Winter Street in Delaware to the eclectic Endangered Species - The Last Record Store On Earth. Pat Bailey will have the answer.

Pat has operated his music store for 40 years in Delaware. It is the oldest, continually operating business downtown. He started his business on Nov. 1, 1980 because he loved music and thought “Delaware needed a record store.”

If you want it on CD or vinyl, Pat can either find it in his voluminous collection or he can locate somewhere in his string of contacts. He specializes in old and new vinyl, which he notes has been making a big comeback with music lovers.

“People want something tangible that they can hold in their hands and add to a collection,” Pat said. “Vinyl has been coming back for several years. People like holding a record in their hands. And it’s not just the older generation. Younger music lovers are discovering albums and they love them.” Pat noted that it is not only classic rock being reproduced as vinyl, but current artists are releasing new albums on vinyl.

Pat is a wealth of music knowledge. Stop in to stroll the aisles and learn more about the music world and classic vinyl. Contact Pat at 740.417.4776 or at endangeredspeciesmusic@frontier.com.

Melissa Rideout had a tradition of grabbing a coff

Melissa Rideout had a tradition of grabbing a coffee with her mother and sisters before going shopping. “We used to talk about how great it would be if our favorite stores were under one roof and had a full coffee bar inside,” Melissa said. An idea was born and came to fruition in 2016 when Melissa opened Coffeeology at 43 N. Sandusky St. in Delaware.

“I have such a love for coffee, community and people,” Melissa said. “I used to work in a coffee shop that was run by a corporation. I felt like the missing component was the relationship with the people. We value our relationships with the community. Oh, and we work hard to offer great coffee and drinks.”

As the name Coffeeology implies, the eclectic shop specializes in coffee, but also features two floors of home goods, gifts, local artisan pieces, handmade bags, seasonal décor, candles, cocktail/bar mixes and antiques. There is a little something for everyone. From the products on her shelves to the pastries at her coffee counter, Melissa provides a market for small, independent businesspeople.

“There isn’t anything on my shelves that you can buy on Amazon or get in a big box store,” Melissa said. “I buy my pastries from local bakers and my products are from small, independent businesses. If people are looking for that unique Christmas gift, they’ll most likely be able to find it here.”

While the pandemic slowed down Melissa’s business earlier in the year, she said it has rebounded nicely, thanks to the loyalty of her customers. “Delaware County supports it small businesses,” Melissa said. “I couldn’t be more proud of our loyal customer base.”

Coffeeology is open seven days a week. For hours and information, visit Coffeeology's Facebook page.
