Nice little shop not far from the inn we are staying at while visiting Ashland this week…read more They have many gift items and trinkets, plus some impressive statuary and fountains. Staff is extremely friendly and helpful. We browsed for almost an hour, and both the girls bought things for themselves - like Shashibo shape shifting boxes ($21.95 each), stuffed toys and animal figurines. We will be back later in the week to buy gifts for friends and family.

On July 3rd of 2026,i was contracted to play 45 minutes of original acoustic guitar pieces as…read moreentertainment for an event being hosted at the Northwest Nature store.Upon my arrival,i set up my folding chair and began my set.Within a minute or two,my employer(not Nature Store employees)materialized out of the rather large crowd,gave me my fee,plus a geneous bonus,and said ,"Do your thing Brother Harry",and disappeared back into the crowd.I began to play again when i noticed a group of several kids(12-13 yrs.old?)setting up musical equipment 30'or so away from my location.All of these kids were openly staring at me with dirty looks on their faces.At a loss,i kept playing acoustic guitar as i was being paid to do.After a minute or so,one of the kids started playing an electric/acoustic guitar and i immediately began playing complimentary,tasteful,leads in an appropriate walking minor scale,rather than continue with my piece,so as not to be dissonant or discordant with a fellow musicians efforts.(even if it was some inexperienced kid,as i am a consumate professional with 40 years experience under my belt).At that point i noticed an adult that seemed to be involved with the kids,also giving me extremely dirty looks as i continued to do my job.As this man approached me staring sourly,i addressed him in a friendly and professional manor,informing him i would be happy to just play accompanying acoustic guitar to whatever the kids were going to play so as not to be a distraction or source of disonance.This male adult cut me off mid sentance by informing me in a menacing bullying manor that ,"UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES ARE YOU TO PLAY ANYTHING WHEN THE KIDS ARE PLAYING".Shocked at his rude aggressive and Highly unprofessional attitude,i calmly began to inform him i was not some random busker,but instead was a paid professional there to do a job.Mr.Luz(i found out his name later),cut me off again with the same statement regarding my purpose at the event.Luz walked off to his car,and within a minute was back,standing over me,telling me again not to play while this kid was playing,to which i responded,"What are you going to do dude,beat me up?!"Luz smirked and replied,"No ,but you are not going to play".Throughout this entire interaction,all 3 or 4 of these kids are watching this,still with looks of disdain and hostility on their faces.o told him again i had been paid to be there,tried to ask him if he knew my employers for the event,all to no avail.He said "I dont care",and walked back to where the kids were at.Instead of causing a scene and potentially embarrassing both myself,and my employers,i packed up my guitar and went home.I informed my employer via text what had happened and they assured me Mr.Luz would be addressed.Well,i come to find out this fellow Felipe Luz runs an organization called Gateway Music Collective in which he is supposedly teaching these children how to become professional musicians!?If you are a parent of any of these kids he is "mentoring"you should know that this person is a complete and total bigot,not to mention a garbage teacher of musicians etticate,whom is poisoning young minds with misdirected unprofessional behaviour! I myself,am a veteran pro musician with credentials that include writing music sound tracks for Sony Music Corp. Playstation video games,National touring credits,and Internationally released album music writers credits for a world famous punk rock band from L.A. as well as an ASCAP'd published songwriter.But because i am 55 yrs. old,with a bleached 10" tall spiked mohawk,am covered from neck to fingernails in 30 yr. old lousy tattoo work,and have teeth that look like a beat up picket fence with boards missing,this "teacher"of other peoples children felt it was ok to bully,menace,embarrass,and humiliate a fellow musician IN FRONT OF SAID CHILDREN,because he was too ignorant to even ask or listen to anything i said.Instead he set an example for these kids,that judging a person by their physical appearance is perfectly ok,and furthermore,looking different equals a lesser person whether they are a fellow musician or not.MR. LUZ YOU ARE TEACHING OTHER PEOPLES KIDS TO BE BIGOTED,HATEFUL,AND IGNORANT,AND I FULLY EXPECT A PUBLIC APOLOGY FROM YOU BEFORE I CAN BE FREE OF THE HUMILIATION YOU CAUSED ME WHILE I WAS TRYING TO DO MY JOB.To do anything less only furthers your lack of professionalism.

Every year Buggs has been in business I have driven down to spend money locally. This year when I…read moreshowed up there was a nearly $2 fee to use a debit card. The business has a sticky note that says there's a small fee but it is not defined. A small fee is maybe 1-2% of the charge. I will no longer do business here because it's unethical to not be transparent in your fee structure and to charge so much to the majority of your customers. If you are that bad at navigating a payment processor then you have other opportunities to succeed.

So on our recent sojourn here, Carefree Buffalo was our fist stop (weird downtown traffic patterns permitting) was Carefree Buffalo.

Of course, there's more than knives here, and they'll all nicely displayed and waiting for you to pick it up or ask about it. I ended up buying a cool (and cheap) utility knife, which pretty much kept me for spending more money. After all, I had to behave myself as Gayle was watching. :)

The lady behind the counter who helped me was super friendly and nice. And she wrapped what I bought with a lot of care. I wish I lived in Ashland and could visit them more often. I bought a few of their beautiful leather bookmarks for myself, but they're going so fast because everyone loves them and wants one! I wish they had things they sell in their store on their website too, so I could order more bookmarks, but sadly that's not the case.

Ashland tends towards the artsy and funky, so this place really stands out as a high-end general store. They have a small assortment of fine wares in several areas: glassware, jewelry, baby items, cosmetics, books and my personal favorite, bon-bons. At every stop I would ooh and aah over something. When I was looking in the children's section they managed to have some of my all time favorites (Ferdinand the Bull and several from the Emberley drawing series). The owner was very friendly and this is their third store with the other two in the Bay Area. Great place to gift shop for a special occasion or just to treat yourself.

Disclousure Or Exposure ?…read more I have been supporting Rare Earth in Ashland. For Over 15 years. It's Great Store. Mostly due to the Big Screen, Music. From reading Previous Reviews. There are Several disappointed Customer from their experience there as well. And I Give Credit were it is earned. Most of you Know it's moved Several X. Most of us like the store in the Beginning. And the friendly Service we had then. Unfortunate Many Retailers are following suite with Disgruntal Employees. Understandably. Thier Over Worked and Paid Peanuts. Underpaid. However Today. November 8, 2025. The Employee looked like, sounded like an Angel. Very lovely. I came in for a return. On a Wallet I bought on 11/02/25. At 1st it looked fine. When I took off the sticker. It left a residue of glue. So I went in today for a return. And with my receipt that does say. All sales final. Which the Original Cashier Cat. Did Not inform me about. And I did not know until today for my return. So Today. I showed the cashier the wallet and the residue of glue. And asked for a cash return. Which was how I paid. Of course most are Charging for purchases. She looked at the wallet saw the glue. Then showed me the receipt with All Sales Final. And said I can't return it. Noted. I Know she's doing what the Owner says. I Send My apology to her. So she went in the back to get the owner, She came out and I Knew Immediately she was Not gona Budge on "Her Policy" She Knows Most of What She Sells is Low Quality Landfill Material. Some things are better. Yet from Being Over Seas I can tell the difference. The purchase was "Only" $19.95. The store must have made a couple Thousand on this day and Not Including the past Several Weeks. My Perspectice is. I Paid Cash. I was Not told about the Policy. And as previous Reviews say the Register is a Dinosaur. And the Recipts are very small. Its Way Out Dated. With being a Long Time Ashland Customer Who The Owners Knows has been supporting her Business. $19.95 is something that a Legit, Transparent Business Owner would be glad to do. By the way is Excatly what the Flower Shop did a few doors away. Did a return for me. That I also paid in cash. It's Obvious it's Good Business Practice. To Return something that was not a Quality item and was purchased just 6 Days Prior. And this is not a complaint. It's only a Review about unethical Business practices. My Wish is for All Busines Owners to Prosper, Thrive when Knowing Every Customer is Contributing to this and thier Abundant and Successful future. May All Beings Experience Health, Wealth And Happiness. 1 Thing about Most Businesses If they say. All Sales Final. #1. Inform Every Customer at the time of Purchase. #2. Unless it's a Worn Undergarment Some Sort of Personal Item that's been used. All Sales Final is a Red Flag. Something is Not Right. It's Smells Fishy. They Know the product is Not Quality or What they say it is. Example ; Hill Top Gems Ashland, "New Owner" Attempted to Sell Me Fake Citrine. Which he did Not Disclose Before his Sales Pitch. This New Owner even told a Previuos Employee. Of whom I Know. Who told Me. As long as it Sales. Who Cares. .
