This is the comic book shop that you see in your head when you think "Comics"…read more A mix of latest release, toys, models, and boxes and boxes of old comics in their sleeves, resident in white boxes. Like a LOT of white comic boxes. Organization is not the prime directive here, but the selection, new/used/valuable is good and the staff is the right amount of nerdy knowledgeable with out being nerdy elitist - you know the type... "Oh, you just started collecting TMNT and don't know about Groo the Wanderer..." Prices are retail for new stuff. A sleeve and board will set you back $0.25. Collectables are priced in line with the Overstreet guide, but they can be a little optimistic on the grading, so margin hard. I have never sold any used comics to them (hoarder!) and I cannot speak to pricing there, but they are legit is every other aspect that I have dealt with this on. In short, this is where I buy my local comics for myself and as gifts.

Let me take you back because this right here might've been one of the coolest, most unexpected…read morenights of my life. So I roll up to Onsen Hourly Hot Tub & Sauna Rentals like a man who's got it all figured out swimsuit on, towel in hand, probably standing there like I'm about to give a safety briefing. I open that door... and instantly realize I am wildly overdressed for the occasion. Steam hanging in the air, candles flickering like we're in some low-budget romance film, and not a single person concerned with formalities. Just laughter, music, and that free-spirited, slightly janky charm of 30 years ago when nobody cared if things matched they just cared if it felt right. And those girls? Oh, they clocked me immediately. You could see it in their faces half amusement, half "we're about to fix this situation." There's some playful teasing, a little splashing, and next thing you know, I'm being coaxed into the tub like it's some kind of initiation ritual. I'm pretending to resist, holding onto what little dignity I had left, but let's be honest that ship had already sailed the second I walked in dressed like a lifeguard at a party that clearly didn't need one. Before long, it turns into full-blown chaos in the best way. People laughing, trying to pull me into the water, glow sticks getting tossed in like we accidentally invented a neon hot tub rave, candles lining the edges, and yeah someone passes around a little herb like it's part of the ceremony. It wasn't fancy, it wasn't polished heck, it was a little rough around the edges but that's what made it perfect. It felt real. Like one of those nights you couldn't plan if you tried. And somewhere in all that between the laughter, the steam, and me finally giving in and joining the madness I remember thinking, this right here is something I'm never gonna forget. Not because it was wild, but because it was genuine. Pure, unfiltered fun with zero pretense. What blows my mind is coming back all these years later... and realizing you can still tap into that same energy. Maybe you're a little older, maybe a little wiser (debatable), but the spirit of the place is still there. The hot water, the open air, the freedom to unwind your own way responsibly, of course but still with that same spark that made it special in the first place. Some places change. Some places lose their magic. This one? Still got it.

I thought I'd have to spend 10-15 minutes going through the whole place looking for it but there it was on the coat rack, placed there by a staffer who came across it.

When it was time for my oldest daughter's senior pictures, we went through the materials the school provided, as soon as my daughter saw the work being done at Mindseye Studio it was a done deal. No other photographer was going to do. From the first meeting, through the shoot and the choosing of the prints, they made us feel at ease and quite frankly, like old friends, which for my family was a priceless gift. So when it was time for my other daughter's senior pics, of course there was no other choice! The combined efforts of Scott and Lynn, made the photo shoot something my child will never forget, they brought out a side of her that none of us knew existed and they did it with fun and laughter! Not for one moment did she feel ill at ease, which as any parent of a teenager will attest is no easy feat. I am continually in awe of the outstanding quality of work that this studio produces, both my girls chose to have prints the encompassed different sides to their personalities, the editing work done to fulfill this vision was simply flawless!! It completely and seamlessly captured what we were envisioning. There truly aren't enough superlatives to convey how I feel about this studio and the people who run it. I can't wait to have my own session and see the beauty they can bring out of me.

With the demise of the big-chain toy stores, finding a "regular" toy store can be a challenge…read more You'll find boutique toy stores, vintage toy stores, toy & hobby stores, etc But luckily Elephant's Trunk fills that need for just a straight up regular toy store. They have a good range of stuff, from baby toys on up to stuff for older kids. Coloring books, blocks, toy cars, fidget-spinners, little guitars, and everything in between. It's a big store and nicely designed, so it's fun to walk around and check things out. Of course it's very kid friendly. Given the 5th St. Market location, you probably won't find any bargains. That being said, the prices seem pretty reasonable. It's definitely worth checking out!
