Shake It Records
Most record stores become successful and then start their own label — Shake It Records did the opposite. Originally started as a label to issue records from local bands, this Queen City gem offers over 30,000 titles on CD, around 8,000 on vinyl, and tons of used selections, as well as a wide variety of books, magazines, movies, and toys. Oh, and don't forget to check out the interesting artwork in the restroom.
Romualdo
Ohio might not be the first place you think of when you think about custom suits, but it certainly deserves consideration — thanks to Romualdo. Nestled away in Madeira, this shop has been making finely tailored suits since 1968, thanks in great part to the talents of the founder, Romualdo Pelle, who is known for classic Italian tailoring with English details. The store now offers a variety of ready-to-wear clothing as well, including offerings from Bill's Khakis, Peter Millar, Allen Edmonds, and others.
