David Brown, store manager of Plaza Records, talks about a vinyl record Tuesday at Plaza Records in Carbondale. “I hung out here every day until they started paying me for it,” said Brown, a resident of Carbondale. Brown, who graduated from SIU, has been working at this record shop for six years. “We have a lot of records that we’ve put out ourselves,” said Plaza Records employee Matt McGuire. Brown and McGuire record and produce music that is available to buy at the store. Plaza Records has been selling vinyls since the 1980s. — May 10, 2016, Carbondale, Ill.
