Editorial Review for CD Alley – by Joe Caparo
In Short
CD Alley specializes in what's loosely called alterna-rock--and their inventory tends toward obscure and rare vinyl and CDs from that genre. It's just what the store's clientele craves, since most of the shoppers--and staff--are culled from the local music scene. It gets high marks for having plenty of cool CDs, obscure and foreign music press, and a knowledgeable, helpful staff.

Insider Tips
The ExtrasCatch some of Chapel Hill's up-and-coming musicians tucked away in the corner during frequent in-store performances. Sure, it's small, hot and cramped, but you'll be sweating pure rock and roll.

It's small, and easy to miss, but try not to for within the walls await towers of mighty CD's and vinyls, sitting silently for a host with which they will form a totally awesome symbiotic relationship. Basically CD alley is awesome, and is now the ONLY place to get CD's in chapel hill now that's schoolkid's got. Even when Schoolkids was around CD alley was better. I've found so many obscure LP's and EP's there. And their local music selection cannot be matched.
Pros: Awesome selection, the people are nice
Cons: Can be a bit crowded since it's small, parking on franklin is hell so catch a bus
