Reader’s Choice Dusty Groove

Jazz, soul, Brazilian music, Latin, and hip-hop are among the areas Dusty Groove excels in, but you’ll find interesting items in just about every genre in its globe-spanning selection. The shop got its start selling vinyl to crate diggers, and it also still boasts an excellent selection of secondhand records—the one section where prices can get superhigh. 1120 N. Ashland, 773-342-5800, dustygroove.com. —Peter Margasak
