I love the convenience, the parking is awesome, and it's easily accessible. In the summer you'll find picnic tables outside many shops and crowds of people sipping drinks, dining on slices and enjoying ice cream.

Now it is a full blown antique market with different booths. I personally didn't find anything. Not too many toys, I look for PEZ, Disney items. Pins, etc. lots of glass items, clothes, dishes, figurines. The coffee shop wasn't operating when I was there about 2pm on a Saturday and there weren't any hours posted. Not sure how often things get in and out for turnover of items to look at.

I love the different themes they set up around the shop, several of which work with the decor in our home. Although I don't care for it in the slightest, they do carry a large selection of Vera Bradley bags. They have lovely scarves and jewelry, candles, socks and trinkets along with a small area with children in mind. If you're in need of a lovely gift for someone or looking for a little something for yourself, Picture This is a great place to check out.

Circular always comes through in the clutch for me. I hate to admit that I usually just order…read moreclothes online because I get frustrated with shopping in Anchorage. BUT Circular's clothing and jewelry are so beyond just "better" than what you usually find in Anchorage. I really think it would be my go-to store if I still lived in Seattle or San Diego. It helps that the owner and employees are class acts- knowledgeable and never snotty. Ex: I ordered about 5 dresses from Revolve.com for Christmas parties this season, and none of them worked. I walked into Circular and within a few minutes had 3 excellent options, all of which were less expensive than the dresses I had ordered online. I'm so grateful Anchorage has this wonderful shop.

Super duper over priced... like big time. Items they sell are available online for a as much as…read morehalf the price. But if you're like me and you like to be hands on before you make a purchase, then this is an ok place to scope out. I recently got some lingerie there that was more than half off, which was a steal. yay. full price would have been a rip. But I also got a toy, which was 30 bucks overpriced, so boo... but, it was, ahem... worth it. That's all i'm gonna say about that. They also redid the store about a year ago and it's much better organized and there's a lot more merch. They have a headshop section with "smoke" stuff downstairs. Some interesting things if you're into that. They had silicone bongs which I've never seen before. I don't know anything about that stuff, but it was kinda neat. They also have some funny weed related novelty items that would make nice gifts for the pothead in your life.... They made the clothing section downstairs smaller, which was a smart move. They've gotten more choosy with what they stock. Mostly all stuff for skinny bitches though. Boo. Upstairs, all the sex stuff. Again, mostly for skinny bitches, lots of gear for exotic dancers like wigs and costumes. Way less shoes than they used to have. Cindy's is still a better bet for people who are in the business of turning people on for a living. They have a very limited selection of costumes for men. Boo. Same for chubby chicks. But I found 4 things that I liked and fit, so yay, not a total loss. They have a variety of novelty items for pre-wedding festivities like penis straws and ice cube trays. There's a limited selection of sex toys... mostly just vibrators and cock rings. Some of their vibrators are the higher quality silicone stuff though. If you're into really hardcore fetish stuff, you're out of luck. The only place in town that has that stuff is Castle, and even their selection is limited (and no, I'm not into fetish stuff... but I figured some people might wanna know, so I'm including this in my review for their benefit.) So if you're looking for any kind of S&M, swings, clamps, pony play, double ended toys, etc, your best bet is online. They do have a few things, but it's novelty quality and not what a person with serious fetishes would invest in. But if you're the kind of person that has a light interest in toy play, then the Look is adequate.

My daughter is an accomplished artist in her own right. She has become an amazing sketch and graphic design artist throughout the years but I wanted her to get more training and also work on those social skills that are so important. We walked in and the place was bustling with classes and activity. There was a 8 foot tall metal wolf sculpture in the corner and I thought "Yes!" I knew it was going to be the perfect place for us. We talked to Stephanie and thought my daughter would love it. When we got home she wouldn't stop talking about it. She's really excited to try the classes. She wants to take all of them. They have classes for beginning to intermediate artists. Classes for advanced artists. There's pottery, screen printing, fashion design. There's so many classes and they're affordable! Some are even free! Everyone is welcome to attend. This is a wonderful art studio in the community! I absolutely love this place. Come down and check it out. Please! Support your local artists. It's so very important.

Then when we were setting the board up they gave me the best options because I had no budget, so they got me the best trucks, wheels, everything. And at checkout they gave me free stickers, the nice guy that helped me was a blonde dude with a beanie I don't remember his name I just know he was nice. I also came a month or 2 later to get a helmet and pads after I fractured my left arm trying to Ollie a 4 stair, and the staff was very helpful trying to see which helmet I like and if it was comfortable.
