Once my friend and I walked in, she immediately came over and greeted us and proceeded to make conversation. She is genuinely interested in the people that visit her store, and she has the address book to prove it! Also a very knowledgeable local, she knows popular food spots and places with good deals. She has many coupons and guide books available free of charge for travelers passing by. If you see this place and wonder what it is about, do not hesitate to go in and introduce yourself. I left with small fireworks for my little brother (Currently the birthday boy) that Grandma Glo gave to me out the kindness of her heart. Bless that woman and her store. Glo's place is a lovely one indeed!!!
