Top Ten Records
Opened by Dub Stark in 1956, Top Ten is the oldest record store in Dallas — and a footnote in the JFK saga: Officer J.D. Tippit made a mysterious phone call from the store's phone minutes before Oswald killed him in 1963. After owner Mike Polk retired in 2017, the Texas Theatre crew turned it into a nonprofit record store and music library that emphasizes Texas and Dallas-made records and hosts small concerts, film screenings, zine events, and poetry workshops.
The move: Flip through Dallas-recorded vinyl in a 1956 storefront that's a literal JFK-assassination footnote, then catch one of its tiny in-store concerts or a Sundays-on-Jefferson Chicano-culture event — history, music, and a date all in one room.
