Everything is arranged nicely (marvel, DC and Indy). Was surprised they still had certain issues on the shelf still. There are some older books behind the counter and back issues in the back back but not taken care of too well. So if that's what you're looking for it's your LCS.

It's a roomy store, compared to a lot of comic shops, with a lot of recent series, if not the most…read morerecent issues of those series. Their margins must be tight, as they open at 10 AM on Wednesday, and some titles are sold out by 11:30. So, they appear to be under ordering, so as not to have to potentially sit on stock. Not too long ago, they changed their policy where they wouldn't be ordering variant covers unless you specifically pre-ordered them. Sure, that's their prerogative, but many variants are open-order, not requiring any minimums on the part of the retailer, so it just seems...odd. The service...This is my biggest gripe. Often, I've gone into the store to find the cashier talking to a friend/acquaintance. A customer might want assistance, and the cashier is visibly annoyed that he has to stop his conversation to provide customer service. Then, once the customer checked out and left, the cashier would turn to his friend and say something like "That's the guy I was telling you about", with a laugh. So, they seem to joke about their customers - the people keeping them in business - and it just feels unprofessional. I've worked retail, so I get it, but those aren't conversations to gold loudly, as other customers are in the store. I mean, what are they saying about ME when I leave? This has happened more than once, while some of the other loud topics of discussion aren't always appropriate for "polite company". The most friendly employee, sadly, passed away recently, so we're left with the ones talking behind our backs.

They have not let me down. Their staff highlights the best books. The pricing isn't lowest you'll find, but I'm ok with that because I'm supporting people and a message, and not a big chain.

You can find cool jewelry, ceramics (including chopstick bowls!), paintings, greeting cards, and other things for your body, walls, tables, etc. Great place to come find a gift for a friend, family member, or yourself! The visual appeal of this place enhances the area around it -- even if you don't go in, just the sign is so cool-looking! That -- and, of course, the promise of art inside! -- is what drew me in .... Of course, it's not just the aesthetic that is inviting, but also the people found within. I was greeted warmly and bought my cute card easily. In addition to being a place to see a showcase of locally-made art, there are also classes to be had and things to be learned here! Again, even if you don't attend a class, coming here can -- and mostly likely will! -- inspire you in many ways, including possibly getting you to want to make art of your own, giving you great, accessible ways to enhance your life with more artistry all around! It's a place to peruse when you have the time ... or just 'pop in' and still pick out something really cool when you don't! All-around awesome place! :-D

I was able to park directly in front of the entrance and walk right in. The setup was really nice--plenty of tables and a huge area for dancing.

Behind her, a projector played clips from Prince's past performances, which added a great visual vibe to the night. There was a small cash bar offering Prince-themed cocktails, plus beer and wine. The staff were fantastic and even popped in a few times to dance and celebrate with us. The venue itself was absolutely gorgeous--cool and comfortable despite all the dancing.
