Our story “Analog Connections” tells the story of 10,000 Hz Records and Russ and Hannah Baggett. These two opened the record store on first Avenue in downtown Opelika in the summer of 2018. It was our honor to sit down with Russ and talk about the beginning of their record store, the community, and how they were surviving in the wake of Covid.
