The two  collaborated on the list in celebration of today&#8217;s Rex Manning Day (a  fictitious holiday referenced in the cult classic film &#8220;Empire Records&#8221;)  as well as National Record Store Day on April 18.  <!--more-->  <\/p>\n<p> Last year, Nielsen tracked a 51.8 percent increase in vinyl sales,  proving that the resurgence of record collecting isn&#8217;t slowing anytime  soon.<\/p>\n<p> &#8220;Knowing there&#8217;s a great bar, theater, restaurant and a good record  store nearby all play into people&#8217;s decision about what neighborhood  they&#8217;re going to settle in,&#8221; said Travis Thomas, a Redfin real estate  agent in Omaha, which was fourth on the list.<\/p>\n<p> Redfin and Foursquare looked at over 60 cities across the U.S. to find  areas with the most record shops per capita, then found the record shop  with the highest ratings on Foursquare in each city that made the top  10. Redfin also calculated how many records at $20 a piece could be  purchased with the median sale price of a home in each city.<\/p>\n<p> Here are the top 10 cities keeping vinyl music alive:<\/p>\n<p> 1. Portland, Oregon<br \/> 2. Chapel Hill\/Durham, North Carolina<br \/> 3. Las Vegas, Nevada<br \/> 4. Omaha, Nebraska<br \/> 5. Milwaukee, Wisconsin<br \/> 6. Tampa\/St. Petersburg, Florida<br \/> 7.
