In 1976 two guys opened a florist and gift shop. As their gifts, both vintage and new expanded,…read morethey moved to a larger store front, then to another larger store front, and now they have all sorts of gifts and decor, mainly Christmas, but also a small Halloween section, a collectibles section and a toy section. I even spotted a small Easter decor section. I did notice some pride holiday decor and some ornaments that were same sex couples, though none of color. They did have some representation of different colors. They even had Bernie in his now famous seated position wrapped in Christmas lights. And they had some of my gnome friends on display and for sale. So many variations of nativity scenes, snowy city displays, and just oh my goodness so very much. If you are ever in the area, I would suggest stopping by. Friendly employees, lots and lots of inventory. If you can not make it, just look at their social medias and their website. Freaking amazing. Some items are a bit expensive in my opinion, but I think that most are reasonably priced.

BAM became as much a toy store as a bookstore some years ago. It's actually gotten a little better…read morerecently, actually gave some floor space back to books. I was there Monday. My friend went to the restroom and came back wanting to leave because there was no t.p., but I went and got a young man who had the good grace to be embarrassed and to fix it promptly. I bought three books and got a very nicely prepared cup of coffee at the JoeMuggs area. The franchise has reduced the offerings at the area, but I was always a cup of coffee kind of person anyway. The cashier had to go across to a different register to preorder the new Prince Harry book for me, but it was handled efficiently and I got a reduced preorder price which included shipping to my home and is significantly less than I would have paid on Amazon (I checked). So, it was a pleasant visit to what is more bookstore than toy store and I saved a few bucks. Very nice.
