First time at this Barnes & Noble location in The Shops at Palm Desert. This Barnes & Noble…read morebookstore is huge and spacious. It's also well lit since natural light is coming in through the huge doors and windows from the entrance accessibility on the street. All the different book sections are highlighted and well represented from Anime, Manga, Sci Fi, Young Readers, Novels, Magazines to name a few. Their children's sections is also very welcoming. They have the stage and little chairs for the little ones. This Barnes & Noble location carries everything from books, art, toys, DVDs, magazines and some collectible items. You can definitely find most of the books you're looking for at this location. This is a great place for avid readers like us. We found some cool and interesting books at this location that's hard to find.

Village Records is an absolute GEM here in the Valley. Being a music lover and collector, I'm…read morealways looking for ways to expand my collection whether the form is in cassettes, CDs, or vinyls, and Village has it all. I work and live very nearby so I find myself at Village multiple times a week. Now for the real meat and potato's: their music selection. They have EVERYTHING! Typically (at least for me) I can get the vibe and idea of a record store's catalogue after my first visit...Village Records has consistently kept me on my toes as every visit (even in the same week) wields new (and old) releases that either I didn't think were still being sold or thought they were going to be exclusive elsewhere. They have a very nice and easy to navigate layout of genres that range from Oldies, Pop/Pop Rock, Soft/Hard Rock, Soundtracks, New & Old School Hip Hop & Rap, Indie, the Local Scene, Soul, R&B, Country, Metal, Hardcore, and absolutely everything in between. Also both staff members (I happen to come in a lot when Colin is working so I know him the best; super cool dude) and the owner are super welcoming and provide great insight whenever I have a question or just want to talk music. 11/10 spot and record store, so happy I stumbled across it, awesome value for all their goodies, and very happy to say it's my favorite record store that I've been to!

Wow! How can I express my excitement? Waltzed into Village Records for the first time last week…read morewhile celebrating our favorite holiday "Record Store Day". Had the absolute joy of geeking out over everything music with darling Collin. I love him (As a Mother with a musical son the same age). We scored a dope haul that day with the likes of Chris Cornell, Father John Misty, & Tool's Fear Inoculum, which has been on my "Must Have List" for quite some time now. We love how all the vinyl shops in the desert have their own unique selections to choose from. Village Records had me chomping at the bit to get back in for more music sifting. This time I had the pleasure of meeting the owner Jeffrey. We got to fanning out over David Byrne and the Talking Heads. Just then, I was zoomed into outer space when Jeffrey furnished this rad CD of the Talking Heads LIVE in LA 1983 AND David Byrnes new vinyl (Who Is The Sky) which I have not been able to find anywhere. Beyond grateful Village Records is now here to share the same space with listeners. Thank You.

They don't have a vast selection of endless crates but what's there is thoughtfully and smartly chosen.

Super nice and convivial people working there, and it's always great to support the locals. Go already!

This location just opened up and I HAD to stop in on the grand opening to check it out. First…read moreimpressions: 1- this used to be a Hyaku-en (100 yen) spot.... ie Japanese dollar store. However like everything the prices have changed drastically. Gone are the $1.25.... Everything is now $2.25 so take that information and do with it what you will. 2- it JUST opened so it looked extremely clean and well stocked. The real test will be how it looks in a few months. If the staff can keep it that way then props! However I did noticed a lot of shoppers letting their small children play with toys down the aisles and carelessly bumping into people without so much as an excuse me or sorry. 3- The store was PACKED with people, the line was around the corner, and they had a self checkout section as well as a cashier. Once again it JUST opened. So it's to be expected. As far as Daiso's go... this one was in line with most of the others I have been to. Lots of easy parking and tons of goodies to browse. Worth the time to stop and browse if you've never been before. I'll come back in a few weeks to see how the dust settles.

It's a pity that this Five Below business is unclaimed, because they are missing out on all 5 star…read morereviews (including mine!). I had never been into a Five Below and had no idea what they sold. I was picking up fancy refrigerated dog food next door at PetSmart and thought I'd wander in and see what they sold. Was it refrigerated items? The name Five Below made me wonder. As I popped in, a very friendly guy said hello and welcomed me, but not in an insincere way. (I'm always a bit sus about that) I started to realize this was an upgraded 99 Cent store with a $5 limit, and was curious to explore. I really responded well to the nice lighting, cool oversized signage and clean feel of the store. I saw items that are at better prices than other stores, but I wondered how people knew what to purchase here. I think you must just go in and endeavor to buy stuff you would normally buy elsewhere for more. Although I left without a purchase, I will go back when I want to stock up on items we regularly use. Also, the guy that works there literally had his teeth sparkle when he said thank you for visiting us - I'm easily swayed by genuine appreciation.
