I don't think he was aware of the existence of Hobby Lobby at the time, so he made the much farther 45 minute trek to Goshen to MCH. Hubby said the store was slightly dirty but the person working polite. He said they had a decent selection, so he purchased 2 model rockets: Big Bertha & Starship Octavius. After finishing assembly, the kids decided they wanted to choose different paint colors for their rockets as well as pick out their next project (building model cars). Needing to go to Mishawaka, we went to Hobby Lobby (HL) this time. Of course their selection is massive, and there were a lot of things hubby saw there that he also saw at MCH. His excitement quickly turned into frustration when he realized that a lot of the same products he had purchased at MCH were almost double that the price of HL. He paid $16 for a rocket (Starship Octavius) at MCH & the same one was at HL for $9.99. He found this to be the case with most every aspect of the project. Talk about disappointing! He vowed to only do his hobby affairs with HL moving forward. Very sad, because we always want to support small businesses.. but gouging the prices in such a way is what makes folks turn their backs on these small mom & pop shops, and steer more towards the big box stores.

Julie was so helpful and knowledgeable, she would show me how to do certain types of wraps and give great advice. Since going through a spiritual awakening I definitely visit the metaphysical side of the store every time! That being said The shop has everything and they add daily to their inventory. The owners and staff are extremely kind and welcoming, the energy is beautiful there. My brain even gets to buzz while shop being around the crystals. The staff is helpful with assisting and answering any questions you may have. I feel like every visit there is something new to discover and everything is fairly priced. As you become a "frequent flyer" there you definitely build relationships which leads to communities which I personally Value. Also Boyd gives some of the best Tarot readings ever everything he says is extremely validating. Highly recommend!

I was surprised to see so many things on sale for 50% off when we stopped in! I bought a book for myself and a board book for my baby nephew for $17 total, after the 50% discount. I regret not stocking up on graphic novels while they were half off! I doubt this discount will exist the next time I stop in... Brain Lair Books also hosts about 7 different book clubs - I'll be joining the romance one when I move here in a year-ish. The bookseller on staff the day we stopped in was also so kind and very funny! Make sure to stop by this well-curated, local bookstore next time you find yourself in the South Bend area!

Wow is all I can say. How could I be so lucky to stumble across this gem. Back in the day when I…read morelived in South Bend this location was a hardware store with a neighborhood grocery store next door. Kathy, the owner took time to greet me and my sister and chat with us. We're both book lovers and we're impressed with the selection. I brought my friend back hours later who is also a book lover along with my two nieces. Again, Kathy was very personable, shared why she opened the bookstore. There is something for everyone here. There's even a little nook with a pillow seat for me and my niece to read a book together. You have to check this place out. If you don't live books you know someone who does so why not support a small business. We all left with a book!

Id love to see more airplane and ship kits but this is probably a very small market. They have a good tool selection and lots of parts. There are so many tool and accessory options out there it's hard to carry everything. The plastic Mosels could use a little attention but I have seen the section growing. To my knowledge they have rc car and boat racing areas which is awesome, but I haven't personally had time to utilize them yet. The pricing on all their products is the competitive standard prices and they occasionally have sales etc. It's a good place to take kids because they will always find something that interests them and feeds their imagination. If you haven't been, go check it out yourself. This is the only game in town so I would love to see more people visit them so they can grow and grow.

They seem to cater to the RC Car enthusiasts, if you go looking for anything but RC both service and selection is mediocre. My last visit was Saturday the 24th, I went shopping for plastic models, space related, they had nothing and in general the plastic models selection sucks. Also looking for supplies for plastic modeling, the shelves were bare. I did find about a third of my list and spent about $50. I went home and ordered everything else I needed on Amazon, spent another $94. I would really like to support local stores but places like this make it difficult.

The only thing in here besides the dvds I wanted was the violin I saw. There were 2 and my husband and I were debating if one was a viola but we never found out because the lady just smiled at us.

We are always in search of used book stores, something that is getting harder to find all the time…read more While visiting the University of Notre Dame we did a YELP search and found Erasmus ... and what a find it was. Now for those avid readers looking for an orderly used book store ... you might have to look elsewhere. But if you are looking for a book store with thousands of used books ... with only a basic framework to the organization of inventory ... this is your place. Set in an old cottage-style home that has been granted Landmark Status in this residential neighborhood, there are books everywhere ... in the basement, on the first floor, and supposedly in each and every room. Most of the books are on shelves, but many are in assorted stacks. The owner/manager of the place is a wonder all to himself. Friendly and outgoing, he actually does know where the major genres are in his layout, and he can help you get close to what you seek. The rest is up to you. The owner is always buying additional used books to flesh out the collection, so that could be a thing for those that are interested. On the buy side, if the owner doesn't have it ... he can probably find you what you want. The store is also complemented with a wonderful old watchdog that is almost on his last legs ... but he will get up and greet you if you have a few minutes. He adds to the overall ambience of this historic building. Now for those that have forgotten: Erasmus was a Dutch humanist, Catholic theologian, and pioneering philologist (philology being the study of literary texts and oral and written records) and we assume the source of the store's name. All in all this was a great stop on our visit ... and we'll be sure to do it again.
