Any good record stores / junk shops in Iowa? - Tiki Music

I'll be coming down from Minneapolis, along the river to Dubuque. And then on to Moline/Rock Island/ Davenport region. Part of the trip is to make it over to the Aku-Tiki Room. But a big part of the trip is in search of bargain basement vinyl records. If anyone has suggestions about places to go (record stores, junk shops, antique malls, grange halls, etc) I'd love to hear about it. Anyone who's listened to my radio show Jet Set Planet http://www.jetsetplanet.com knows I play lots of weird easy listening, exotica, stereo dynamica, and crime jazz. I have a few record dealer friends here in the Twin Cities that seem to do very well shopping for records in Iowa, but they're pretty tight lipped about where they go. There's one place (I think Dubuque) where they've scored a bunch of Command records stuff (Enoch Light's Label), and usually pay a buck per record!!! I'm not a dealer. And I don't resell this stuff to try to make money. I just love the music and am always looking to add stuff to my radio program. If anyone can help me out, I'd really appreciate it. Thanks!
