When I was exploring Bell Tower shops the other day I noticed the sign for the Edison Ford Shoppe…read moreand I decided to check it out. The model T sitting and front window was what initially caught my eye. Yes, they have a fully built model T sitting at the front of the shop. Most of the store is heavily geared toward the older Florida tourist. Just imagine palm trees, flamingos and beach shell decorations- you get the idea. In the back area of the store there's a section containing multiple DVDs and books having to do with the estates. One of the more interesting items in the store is an original phonograph. They even provide white gloves for those with the urge to get hands on.

It's a shame. If it wasn't for the bad attitude of some of the workers, this would have been a fun…read moreand educational experience. The people who restored and preserve these properties did an amazing job and the buildings and historical artifacts do an amazing job of telling the story.. But some of the workers that are in charge of customer service in the stores are some of the most miserable people I have ever met. In the store on the Ford property, the lady gave us a dirty look when we walked in with our 2 and 4 year old sons. Her reaction when my 2 year old picked up a toy car pencil sharpener and brought it up to the counter to purchase was she gave him a disgusted look. I asked if they have kids come in there often and she started yelling at me "YES WE DO SIR but most people can control their kids". Then she started lecturing me on how he could break the metal toy car pencil sharpeners. Mind you this was the first thing the lady said to us. This lady was the nastiest person with a strong dislike for kids. The lady at the front store wasn't any nicer, even before our kids walked in. If it was just one of the employees i would have chalked it up to a bad day but they really need to do a better job of deciding who should be responsible for customer service.

Great bookstore, huge selection, not enough seating. I know it's not a library, but I'd really like…read moreto see more spots in this store where I can decide if the book I'm about to purchase is going to be worth my time. The store offers gaming, accessories, even a shelf of LP vinyl records. Not the hugest periodicals department but adequate. Lots of areas with discounted books and lots of gifts. I picked up a gift for my wife and a marked-down hardcover for me. [Review 10796 overall, 564 of 2019.]
