I will always support small businesses, but I'll never be back to this one. It's a shame because…read morethey have some great records! However, in the sensitive world we live in today, I don't think it's ever appropriate to tell a customer that you don't care if the president gets killed or doesn't... that's where I draw the line. Regardless of political views, I was not expecting to spend my afternoon hearing about it when asking if they had a specific item. I was going to leave this be and move on with my day, but it ruined my whole day. I never post reviews, (I had to download yelp just to leave this reviews), but I felt the need to say something. In a world so unsure and so broken, I walked into a record store to clear my mind. I left with stress and confusion. I guess I'll continue buying my records online instead of supporting this small business. What a shame.

I've bought a few of the recommended books, stickers and books for the little man that we read for bed time. Can't wait to come back and find some other fun reads soon!

There is a small children's section with creative, interesting books for newborns to teens and the adults section has themed sections with suggested topics. There are a few cozy seating areas where you can relax and read a bit, and the staff are very helpful and knowledgeable if you need assistance. I love this bookstore and plan to continue patronizing and ordering books directly from them rather than using other sources, to keep this community gem in business!

The guy at the front counter is so helpful an his service In helping find something in the store is amazing also when you buy comics from there you can trade them in for different ones which is so nice cause I wanted to read a long series but only had enough for around 4 comics at the time so I bought the three comics and returned them so I could finish the series. Also they have action figures from marvel and I forget maybe DC. Also the quality of the comics are amazing no bends or scratches so overall this is an amazing comic store and I love going 5 stars all around a d I really hope for this business to continue.
