Scott Shepard, owner of Time Traveler Records, has been sharing his passion for music with the community for 35 years. He spends his days happily discussing music with customers and listening to vinyl on the record player that sits next to his desk. The desk overlooks an impressive collection of CDs, DVDs and vinyl, and the walls are plastered with posters of famous musicians.

Shepard had to pack up his collection of music from his previous store, located in Cuyahoga Falls, after 26 years of business because he could not afford the rent. In February 2015, he relocated Time Traveler Records to 118 W. Market St., near Downtown Akron.
