Given a blank canvas, the…read morebrilliance and creativity and vision people have to repurpose a "post office " into a welcoming eclectic gathering gallery is something phenomenal! A work in progress, the basement offers retail shops such as bookstores, disc shop, bicycle shop and a fantastic curiosity shop. There is an early era barbershop, not male exclusive, restaurants, Tataima Shabu Shabu (5 stars), and more. Unfortunately we were held captive by a quarter stealing parking meter. It ate 8 quarters and gave us time for 4. . Note to everyone, there's free parking on Center Street. The basement is a fantastic place. Just allow yourself time to relax,explore and enjoy.

What exactly happens down in the Basement... nobody is quite sure. Some say there's an archaic coffee shop and a place to get morsels. Others say there's a place to be served and groomed by professional Barbers/Aestheticians. Still yet, others say there's a multitude of services for the mind and body. The walls of the Basement laden with art of the most unpredictable sort... To truly understand the Basement one must become one with the Basement and truly transcend time and space.

If you're ever in the area, it's totally worth a visit!

Kind of a weird Walgreens. Seeing the building from the outside, without knowing it's a Walgreens,…read moreyou'd think it's something special, like a mini stadium or something. They have a fully painted parking lot, which is something I've never seen, bars preventing large vehicles from entering, and the architecture of the building itself is out there. It also looks from the outside that it's the largest Walgreens in history. However, when you walk in, it's exactly what you expect from a typical Walgreens, which isn't a bad thing.

Ten years later, I feel the need to update my review. And Yep, I still come here…read more LOCATION: It is close, it is walkable and the light sequence at the intersection has been improved. I have only been almost squished about 3 times in the last 10 years. Not bad for Reno. CONVENIENCE: They are no longer open 24 Hours. The Pharmacy window is only open 9:00am to 8pm with a half hour closure for lunch. The rest of the store still cares a huge collection of stuff. Items that apparently are "shoplifting magnets" ie most beauty products are now in locked shelves. ATMOSPHERE There seem to be fewer "dodgy" patrons than in the past. Shelves are better displayed and don't seem as cramed. It is clean and well lit. SERVICE: Still pretty slow, and staff has been drastically reduced. I have had no problems with either the pharmacy or the front checkout, it just takes a while. On the plus side, staff are friendly and professional. My insurance no longer covers prescriptions from Walgreens. I just learned that Walgreens is not affiliated with the large third-party Pharmacy Benefit Manager. So the convenience and location have been major factors in me continuing to shop here.

I'm a skincare snob, the kind of person who has her favorite brands and is picky about ingredients…read more Therefore, I'm disappointed in myself that I didn't discover the Pantry a lot earlier. The only way I knew about it was through a friend asking me to pick up moisturizer for her while she was down. I've thanked my friend, of course, because even upon walking into the shop, the smell tells you you're in a place that values quality ingredients. I wish the owner would make a Pantry Products candle that smells just like the shop. I'd buy it in bulk. Because I have dry skin, I'm careful about products with oil because they tend to sit on my skin instead of moisturizing it. Therefore, I've hesitatingly used products with oils, but the Pantry has changed my mind. The serum is my favorite product, hands down--not only does it smell wonderful (to the point where I've had people ask me what I'm wearing) but it also moisturizes my skin beautifully, and I can't stop touching my face because it feels so soft. It's a relief, too, to know that these products aren't harmful to my body or the environment, something that's become even more important to me since reading an article about the cancer-causing chemicals in talc. I also use the face cleanser, with jojoba oil, and it's moved to the top of my cleansers, since my skin feels a lot less dry when using it. I also like the customer service, which is informative and friendly without being pushy. The people working at the store know their stuff and have effectively steered me toward the right products. Finally, check out the Instagram feed if you haven't already: the owner is highly engaging without being overly performative, and her aesthetic reflects the shop and the products. My only quibble--and I feel terrible writing this because I love this shop and love to support small businesses, having worked for one myself--is that a batch of my moisturizer never seemed to work for me, as it was broken no matter how many times I tried to stir it. When I went in to get more serum, I mentioned that the moisturizer hadn't worked well for me/was way too oily. The person behind the counter said she wished I'd brought it in to replace it as long as I hadn't used it all and that they'd had a problem with a certain batch number. She mentioned, too, that another person brought her empty tin in after trying to use this faulty moisturizer, but it couldn't be replaced because she'd used it all. This seemed kind of curious to me: why not just replace it then? I mean, I understand people can be sketchy at times, but it was obvious I and the other customer weren't being that way. In a previous business I'd worked for, we would have replaced that, no questions asked. This also would have encouraged me to try the moisturizer again. I'd encourage the company to replace known faulty products, even if the user had mistakenly used all of it up. Overall, though? If you love skincare products like I do, you *must* try this place. Don't wait for a friend to tell you about it. Don't think that, Oh, maybe some day I'll go there. No. Go. Small businesses are an important pillar of our community, but even more, your skin will look, feel, and smell wonderful, and you won't be putting a bunch of nasty chemicals in your skin and body. So glad I discovered this place!

Bumblebee Blooms Flower Boutique

Part of my job in office management is ordering flowers (for a variety of occasions). When I first…read morestarted in that position, one of my colleagues mentioned Bumblebee Blooms as an option. Best suggestion EVER. Over the years, I've worked with numerous florists in/out of state and it's been a hit or miss. However, from Order #1 in 2024, Bumblebee Blooms has nailed every order we've placed. On top of a fun, creative, and talented staff (we often laugh on our calls), the arrangements are tailored to each occasion and they take extra care to work with each situation. For example, when my colleague lost her beloved pet, I placed an order and inquired if we could select flowers that were non-toxic to her cats. There was no hesitation to accommodate and when I saw the receipt, my request was actually noted on the order so there would be no errors. That attention to detail extends to the energy and care they put into each arrangement. I absolutely love working with the staff and they've become one of my favorite florists of all-time. Deliveries arrive on the dates they're promised and the recipients comment on the beauty of the arrangements. If you're not sure what to order or where to start, depending on the occasion, I suggest considering the flower gift box. It's become one of my go-tos to send to others! A huge thanks to Bumblebee Blooms!!
