The Golden Groove

The Golden Groove is Mount Absalom's record shop. It is currently run by Marisol Cabrera, who inherited it after the previous owner died. It is located on Main, and opens at 11 a.m.

It took several days for Marisol to decide on a name for the store. Name ideas included The Dusty Needle, Hello Fidelity, and Old Scratch. The first was discarded because dusty needles distort the sound; the second for being too much of a dad joke; and the third because Marisol didn't want to tempt fate, since Old Scratch is another name for Satan. The finale name 'The Golden Groove' was inspired by the Voyager 1 and 2 missions, which had gold-plated records loaded with various music and sounds from Earth.

The bell above the front door is the same kind used in Fenwood House.
