There is a very cool interactive model train in the center of the store, and then aisles of items related to trains- including art supplies, craft kids, books... and then also Legos and my favorite brand, Schleich! Fabulous Bruder trucks, too. I didn't interact with the staff, but they were present and busy helping all the customers. I also met several other train enthusiasts who were happy to share their love to Thomas the Tank Engine with my group and that was so special to me! Free street parking.

Last week we had my daughter's twelfth birthday party at Stencib's on Madison st. in Forest Park…read more Stencib is an artcraft/boutique type store that specializes in stenciling. The boutique sells clothing, boots, antiques etc that have been stenciled with unique original patterns and designs. Primarily though, Stencib functions as an art studio where you can obtain original art stencil patterns and design and all the materials to stencil your own objects, clothing, furniture, etc. You can stencil literally anything! So my daughter and five of her friends brought in t-shirts, jeans, Ug boots etc. for an afternoon of stenciling. The owner Linda provides a large work space along with original stencil designs, paint, rollers, and all the other appropriate materials.We brought in the cake and drinks and ordered pizza from across the street. Linda, Joe, and Kate also demonstrate and assist with the stenciling. It's really quite easy and the girls got it right away. And let me tell you the girls loved it. My daughter stenciled a pair of those drab Ug boots with a floral vine type pattern in green and yellow. The results were astounding. My eight year old daughter who is obsessed with sharks asked if they had any stencils with a shark design. Linda, an artist and designer, created by hand a stencil of a shark on the spot. My daughter stenciled a large scarf with happy sharks! Each girl also got to stencil a scarf that we purchased as part of the party package. One girl stenciled her scarf with a Christmas tree pattern to give to her mother as a present. Even my teenage son who was there just to hang out got caught up in it and bought a sweatshirt that he ended up stenciling. My wife is going back to stencil a red table cloth with a festive holiday pattern to use for thanksgiving. In short this a very cool boutique/art gallery to have a birthday party or really any kind of event gathering. The people there are quite helpful with great ideas. My daughter and her friends had a wonderful time and had some cool new clothing that they created to show for it. I recommend checking it out. I might even stencil my man cave!

There were a good amount of back issues I was interested in, but so many weren't bagged and boarded and were definitely beginning to show some shelf wear. The bigger issues, though, is that nothing is clearly organized by series--or even publisher. There had clearly been some attempts to sort things out, but without any major success. It was frustrating to say the least. The owner was nice and happy to talk to you, and his interactions with other customers of varying sorts were very friendly as well. Sadly, there was a very offering radio station playing the whole time I was there detailing 9/11 conspiracies and whether or not Hunter Biden should be in jail. The owner said it was really just 'background noise,' but it sort of started to weird me out a bit. Regardless, i found a few books I wanted and decided to head out. At checkout, I paid with cash and wasn't charged any additional sales tax--which I always appreciate.

For people like us there are just so many things to see. They have games of all different types including some for younger people. My friend found Bob's burgers Monopoly and was considering buying it when they found some dungeons & dragons products that they wanted more. It was a tough decision but Bob's will be the next visit there. I was impressed with the varied collection of games and products that they had. In the end I only made a small purchase, a pack of Magic the Gathering Universes Beyond / The Lord of the Rings Tales of Middle Earth booster cards. I don't play the game but I do enjoy the artwork. This is totally the store that would be a danger for me if I lived up here. I would probably be in shopping once a week. A very worthwhile visit.

Never seen anyone else working there but whatever. I call and ask if they have a specific magic trick. The guy says they have it, so I drive on over. When I get there, he can't find it so he passes me a "similar" trick and says it's better. I decide to trust the guy and buy a couple more things. I try working the trick at home and realize it's super angle sensitive and the written instructions didn't help much. I decide to go back and get the Instructional DVD. I go back in and the guy spends half an hour with this other guy without asking if I need help. The other guy says to the owner that he can go ahead and assist the other gentleman. (Me) and the owner makes some offhand comment "oh he's not a gentleman" and proceeds to make other lame crappy jokes. Once he's finally done and tries to help me find the dvd, he can't find it, even though it's listed on their site. So I tell him how the written instructions aren't helpful. He basically tells me to go look online (which I've already done). There's nowhere else I could find it. So I ask about their return policy. "There isn't any" he says. Well I wish I knew that before I trusted this guy. So I'm about to leave and suddenly the guy finds it. I'm glad I didn't go there for nothing but then-- Here's the kicker. The guy decides to ILLEGALLY rip the DVD. He opens up the plastic, takes out the DVD and proceeds to rip it. I'm thinking-- how can this guy do that? Once it's done he gives me the DVD back and proceeds to play his ripped copy and walks to the back. So after all this I'm kind of annoyed and want to leave so I walk to the back and tell him I have to get going. He prices me out and I ask if he can give me a break on the price, since he now has a copy. This guy gets pissed off, snatched it out of my hand and says "Nah you don't need it" and puts it back. Well I'm not trying to waste an hour and a half so I tell him fine, I'll still buy it at full price. Which is ridiculous because he literally opened the packaging of the DVD and illegally ripped it. I purchase it and leave. This guy is shady and kind of a major jerk. I'm glad I didn't spend a ton of money here. Which I would have done in the future if he wasn't so rude. Not coming back. Save yourself some time and money and go elsewhere. Magic Inc is much better and so are some online sites.
