Review Visit: July 1st, 2015…read more "Woah, trippy dude!" The destination Penny Lane Gifts was recommended to me by a friend. She made it seem like a quasi-trippy gift store that has an eclectic collection of odds and ends. Doing what I normally do, I headed down there with a few friends to check it out. Sure enough, Penny Lane is exactly like it was described. A large collection of odds and ends with something for everyone. The store itself is massive. It has a bit of a 'antique mall' layout to it. One room or section will be one theme and then walking into another room will have a different theme or layout. We saw a ton of cool things. Stuff from Star Wars to Willie Nelson to Harley Davidson. There is something there for anyone and everyone. I recommended this place to my dad and he loved it. He found himself some cool things to get, despite not being a materialistic person himself. My favorite room was the Black Light room, as seen in the main photo above. It was trippy. I've been around black lights before and have seen the effects it has on things, but the extent of these black rooms was intense and immense. Everything illuminated. Everything glowed. I didn't end up buying anything there but I did see a few things I was interested in. My next trip back, I will definitely be picking up a few things to spruce up my home. Woah.

We were promised that garbage would be taken care of through the night and none was ever moved. We were also promised that our wedding guests would be guided to a parking lot by someone and there was no one in sight. We also had to end our reception earlier than we would have liked due to neighbor placation to avoid noise disturbances. With a few complaints overall we had a great wedding and the atmosphere was certainly helpful.

Kinda sparse, not as loaded down with Shenanigans as the other head shop place in Spfld. But they have also been here a mad long time so, I take that into consideration. But I am absolutely giving this place some stars because my first and only trip in there, the owner was WHEEZING and CRYING with laughter because he sprayed some friends that had walked in with fart spray. It was absolutely gnarly and smelled like 3 week old boiled eggs. Smelled awful, but very to funny watch. 4/5. Please bring in Jewelry at decent prices :,)

After we had already breathed the air in their poorly ventilated store for awhile, we noticed that several of the employees were not wearing masks AT ALL. I brought it to the attention of perhaps the manager or owner, who was also not wearing a mask. She told me that the people at the counter were required to wear masks. I told her that they were not all wearing them. She argued that they were. I told her that I had literally just seen them and that she could look for herself. She then changed her story, saying that the CDC does not require them to wear masks. I would prefer to shop places that do not put their customers lives at risk and argue with them for no reason. I DO NOT recommend this place to anyone and will never return...even after the end of this global pandemic.

Review Visit: May 12th, 2015…read more In my quest to visit any and all nerdy stores, Comic Service is another stop in a long list of places to visit. Not being a comic person/collector myself, I really wasn't sure what to expect. Some comic stores carry a variety of things aside from comics, ranging from video games to cds to vinyl and the odds and ends. From what I remember about Comic Service, they seem exclusive to just the comic book scene. Well, that's not entirely true. They do sell POP vinyl figures. Not only POP but other collectible figures as well. But beyond that, not much else. The walls are literally filled with comics. Wall to wall comics and comic-related things. Overall, if you need a comic book fix, visit Comic Service. Small store, but a big variety. They have to have the most comics per square inch of all stores in the tri-county area.

This is a tiny place that is covered in comic books. One thing that surprised me was the number of…read morebooks that were falling and bending forward on the shelf. I can't imagine that is good for their value. It would be better just fill the shelf half-full so they weren't getting bent on the bottom third of the books. The owner never looked at us, never greeted us, never asked if we needed anything. I guess he figures you know what you're looking for and good luck finding it. My husband did find a book that is rather hard to fine and he charged him less than cover price. Probably worth stopping by.
