That's The Mix. A totally non-judgemental arts and crafts store that appreciates you trying to make art and do crafts in a world increasingly not built for beauty, but for zeros and ones. I found everything I was looking for and so much more here: really sparkly embroidery thread that I never knew existed, gold pens that write oh-so-smooth, and locally made glittery watercolor paint (no gatekeeping here, it's Antimadder Art if you want to look it up). Genuinely, my partner had been craving colors exactly like these! Loving their new space; it's a big, old building with loads of windows to flood every nook and cranny with natural light! Be sure to sign up for loyalty points! There are workshops and product demos now! And in the summer they have live music on their porch! Go. Get your supplies. Say hi to Leslie; she's the art teacher you're missing in your boring adult life. #heartemoji

Whenever we go, we have an absolute blast. Jeff & Kathy, the owners, are very nice and accommodating, and Jeff is a wizard fixing/modifying cars. We usually bring an extra kid (one of my son's friends, and the event ends up being what they call "an extravaganza." We all have fun. This is a pretty inexpensive hobby, and our "go to" on rainy or snowy days. It also brings me back to the time when my Dad would take me slot car racing 45 years ago. The only thing that has changed is that the cars are a lot faster now-- which is really fun. We recommend renting some track time and some cars. If you like it, buy a couple of cars from Jeff and for $20 (2 people for a 1/2 hour), it makes for a very fun afternoon. Can't recommend this place highly enough.

My only concern was that my older mother had a difficult time getting up the large concrete stairs because there's no handicap-friendly entrance. However, our experience inside Abacus was wonderful.
