Traffic was brisk at River City Records & Books on Saturday. The new store at 1814 W. Superior St. in Duluth’s Lincoln Park Craft District opened on Friday at 3 p.m.

The collection of LPs on the shelves appeared to number in the range of 2,000. Owner Todd Hanson said he has thousands more that will be making their way out onto the floor in the future. Prices varied, but albums in the $13 to $15 range were labeled “buy two get third free.” Many of the more coveted albums were priced higher.
