During our Thanksgiving trip to Arcata, we ducked in here to look for some old vinyl. Considering…read morethe eclectic nature of this community, I was not all that surprised to find a pretty awesome little music store. Indeed, the personality of this business matches that of the greater community; that quixotic mix of coming to terms with your own minor quirks and foibles, along with the ability to laugh at yourself. Oh, and I love of just about every kind of music you could imagine. The store had all sorts of records, although these are not 1980s Woolworths prices. I think we spent about 25 bucks for an old GNR album, and found a cool little Grateful Dead piece of art. The key is behind the counter was much cooler than me, but just as kind... I like that when I go in the store. It makes me want to buy things. Other retailers in the Square should take note. All that to say, Arcata is a town with a flavor all its on, and this music store fits right in. I will be sure to stop in the next time I'm passing through to see what other treasures I can find in the stacks.

Yesterday, 6/18/24, my daughter and I were wandering around old town Eureka & we stumbled upon this…read moreamazing shop. This is a place you could easily spend hours in discovering treasures. The selection is truly impressive, from literal Victorian clothing, to 1970's disco jumpsuits. My daughter found a gorgeous dress with a black tulle skirt and red satin rhinestone embellished sash for only ten bucks! But the real star of the show was the girl who worked there & I wish I'd gotten her name. She had short dark hair & was the sweetest, most wonderful young woman. She couldn't have known how much her kindness mattered, but it did. We have just moved here & my daughter is having a tough time, worrying about whether or not she'll fit in or be happy here. This salesperson was precisely the kind of person my daughter admires and we talked briefly about anime and video games and...maybe it didn't seem like much to her, but it meant a lot to us. We will certainly be back. Often.

The first time I made a trip out of my way to go here they were closed.The second time, I was able…read moreto catch their business hours and mulled through the 1000 or so fairly requisite and median priced titles. The store is in the back of a bar, which is a cool concept, and has potential if the small stock of records were of higher caliber.The 3rd time I came through was months later, and most of the same stock was there with the addition of a couple more requisite and easy to find titles. After fading enthusiasm and another hour of my time spent, I realized that there were boxes on the floor which I missed the first time around. Out of a renewed hope of finding something to make it worth my time and effort I resorted to hands and knees diggin, but was quickly reprimanded and curtly told "those boxes arnt for sale" by the intimidating bartender who looks like an extra out of the movie Braveheart. After an hour of my presence in the shop, this Viking finally took some time to make a not-so friendly appearance.The fellow at the counter who I ended up talking with was very nice, and for that reason, I will be giving it an extra star making it a rating of 1.

Right away I spot a few cool wooden bowls that would be perfect for my rock collection. My friend spots some beautiful carnival glass and antique glassware. It is a pretty big store inside... The book collection in the back is enormous and one could spend all day back there, paperbacks 50 cents, hardcovers $1. Lots of household items at low prices. Most clothing 99 cents. Seen some jeans in a jewelry case marked $40 bucks! Mostly everything is reasonably priced, a few crazy prices noted not many though. I found some brand new petfood bowls from Boots & Barkley (Target) $2.99 each! Some nice crockery and serving bowls $1.99 each. They have some really good finds. My shopping partner scored some beautiful antique glassware that she paid handsomely for and it was still a good deal!

Three of us waiting in line and when I asked her if someone was available to help us check or she scowled and huffed over. I also really really do not enjoy getting three different promotions shoved in my face (I don't blame her personally I blame FYE for making her do this) while trying to check out. Who even gets magazine subscriptions anymore? The headphones I bought (my fourth pair that are cheap AF but I love the color, that keep breaking) wouldn't even expand/open from their folded state. Immediately returned to the store to find 0 employees for FIVE minutes while I waited at the front register waving my arms at the cameras. I eventually just went and got the same headset and opened at that box, tempted to just walk out with it. She finally came out from somewhere in the back, told her the issue and left. She had to forcibly shove/pull the headphones I had bought with very loud audible clicks into place and then she couldn't even get them to collapse again. Cheap product as usual, and I told her I wasn't taking the risk with that pair and got the other which opened on the first try. It's a good thing I'm not a thief--this is Humboldt, folks, you can't have ONE employee working who leaves the floor for several minutes at a time and doesn't monitor your stock. Multiple employees have been awesome over the two years I've been here. Today specifically and especially Joseph got me hooked up with a device so I can stream DoTA2 TI9 on my tvand I won't miss a game!! He took more time than he needed to and went above and beyond to help me out. Thanks man.
