My boyfriend and I stopped in to check out the MTG selection and we were pleasantly surprised. There was a surprisingly large selection of booster packs, starter decks, and some single cards. There were also some really nice d20s and other game related materials (deck boxes, deck sleeves, etc.) The guy who works there was incredibly kind and friendly. He asked about our decks and showed us some cards. He even offered us some extra lands, free of charge, which we didn't need but it was still very nice of him to offer. I can't speak much to the comic book selection but I've heard great things. All in all it was a great shop for the size and excellent service, and I would absolutely go back. I would definitely prefer to buy MTG cards here as opposed to retail giants like Walmart or online retailers. Support local businesses!

We stumbled upon Rodney's while exploring Harvard Square area. We loved bookstores, so we had to…read morecheck it out. Wish we had more time! It is pretty big and they have a lot of books, but it was crowded, making harder to browse and navigate. As far as the selection goes, it wasn't our cup of tea. Which is OK. Schedule - every day 12-7 pm , Fridays and Saturdays stays open till 8 pm which is great! You are left alone to look at books, staff here doesn't come around to bother you which is a major plus! Prices are a tad high for a used bookstore. It's worth checking it of you're in the area and you're a fellow bookworm! It has a charming, cozy feel to it.

Parking was a little…read moreexpensive... it was a Sunday so we couldn't find street parking and instead opted to park at a little lot next door. Was about 6$ for 30 mins or 14$ for 1 hr... needless to say we spent a little more than 30 minutes browsing at the book store. They have a few very old books located next to the checkout point. Books on many hobbies and world religions as well as classics. They do have groups of reference books and thesaurus's (and while they may have been there... I noticed partial sets and only maybe 1-2 complete sets). Books are reasonably priced -- between 94 cents and 30$+. Store was pretty busy when we stopped by but that's exactly what I'd like with a used bookstore. They do accept donations and I surmise that the inventory turns over rather quickly.

This is the ONLY place to buy cigarettes in the Longwood area. The closest alternative is the…read more7-Eleven at Brigham Circle. The cigarettes are over-priced and there isn't much variety. Also, an amazing phenomenon occurs every weekday at 5, right before the store closes. The little room known as the Longwood Galleria Patriot News fills up quick as lotto players get off of work and purchase anywhere between 5 to 20 tickets. Its the most frustrating experience for smokers to deal with. Believe me. The two guys behind the counter are very nice and know my brand. One of them also told me that of all the magazines in the store, penthouse is his favorite. Very funny guy. Store does not accept credit cards. The Galleria has a Sovereign ATM towards the north entrance by the CVS. Also, there are 3 Bank of America ATMs in the area: to the west on Brookline Ave, to the south on Longwood across the street, and one within Children's Hospital on the 2nd floor. Also, CVS does cash back.

If u want Jazz, Blues and Rock - this is the place. They also have a huge collection of classicals. Not much on folk or indie scene but you might get lucky with some 7s.

The inside of the comic store is also very bright and clean, unlike most comic book places I've seen that have a darker atmosphere to them.

The staff is helpful and polite, they will order books for you if they don't have them, and they have a deal where every 11th graphic novel you buy is free (or discounted, I forget).

If you're a comic fan it's best to visit all 3 of them!

Yep, the guy behind the counter, if he's white and older, is the one and only Skippy White. A…read morelegend of the local music scene (he actually was awarded a Boston music award), he's sold "black music" of myriad styles in the area for 40+ years. The man is generally pretty agreeable (not that easy with so much experience in retail!) and taking the time to talk to Skippy is well worth it--- he's a fount of information, and can remember label and release information far better than you could imagine. And he LOVES to talk food. If you spend enough time in the shop, you'll realize that it has a strong community aspect to it; regulars are popping in all the time and Skippy's ties to Boston's African-American community are substantial. He also does a weekly radio show called the Time Tunnel. Oh yeah, the music. A great spot for records, though they are very slowly getting into order. This is a great place for soul and blues oldies, as if Skippy doesn't have it on CD, he'll order it for you. He also sells a lot of gospel and modern Southern soul, and stocks some jazz. I recommend it more for CDs unless you like to dig a lot. But the counter is often the place to be, as Skippy can usually tell you if he's got what you're looking for.

Very distinct collection of records, mostly "black" music, a lot of soul, funk, motown, disco, hip hop records. There doesn't seem to be much of anything else, but to a lot of diggers, this can be a goldmine if that's what you like. The man, Skippy, is a gentleman, and he knows his stuff. He was willing to work with me on the price, which was very fair. I bought a stack of about 15-20 records for around $60. He's got lots of unique and some rare 45's of old soul music. I really enjoyed it.
