Full disclosure, I am not the normal client of Memory Lane. I am a 65 year old man. I went with…read moremy daughter because she wanted to have help on her selection. Happy to do it. This place is amazing. I had no idea there was such a market for athletic shoes. The inventory which changes daily was over the top. However, one of the reasons I went was to see the famous safe. Yes you heard me right. A Safe for the high end shoes. Since the athletic shoes my daughter was looking at were over $200.00, I wanted to know, what about the shoes in the safe. The let me in and well, they were very expensive. I guess my PF Flyers and Keds as a kid are not longer a things. Anyway, the staff was engaging, fair and helpful. I like this place and hope they have great success.

There is a wide variety of model airplanes, toys, RC vehicles, and more. There was also this friendly cat wandering around the store like he owns the place, so I assume it was a bodega cat.

I had a few guys who were out of town and it was such a simple process. Mr. Burch was so easy to work with and it was such a relief knowing that if my guys out of town tuxs didn't fit they could fix them. I have used Men's Warehouse in the past for my friends weddings and nothing fit and we were out of luck but not with Mr. Burch they were able to fix any issue asap. If your looking for tuxs for your wedding I highly recommend!!

Although there are not a ton of things I would get here for myself, I have visited Monograms Plus…read moreon numerous occasions. The staff has always been extremely helpful, friendly, and willing to help a husband out with some very efficient gift wrapping. I mostly have only come here for very specific items, I'm sure you can browse the store for some pretty good gift ideas. From hostess gifts to stocking stuffers to really impressive personalized items, they usually have some the popular things that make good gifts. I have never had anything personalized here. But they have a good selection of items that can be monogramed and engraved. I am always envious of the Yeti items they have displayed while I am in here. For me personally, I have probably bought their candle items more than anything. My wife loves Tyler candles and they are one of the few places that carry that in Birmingham. But they have a few different brands of other high quality candles. Not cheap, but well worth the money on most we have tried. And most recently, we found our baby books here in anticipation of our new arrivals soon. Good store. Good people. If you haven't stopped in to check it out, definitely worth the visit.

Homewood Toy and Hobby, 2830 18th Street South, Birmingham, AL 35209…read moreWe have been going to Homewood Toy and Hobby for years, and it continues to be one of those special local stores that is a pleasure to visit. One thing we noticed right away is how convenient and accessible the store is. There is plenty of parking, and they have both a front and back entrance, along with a handicap ramp. That may sound like a small detail to some people, but for someone using a wheelchair or needing easier access, it makes a big difference. The aisles are also wide enough for a wheelchair, which is not always the case in small specialty stores. The service is prompt, friendly, and genuinely kind. The employees are wonderfully nice and helpful without making you feel rushed. My brother enjoyed looking around, taking his time, and selecting what he wanted to buy. That kind of patient, friendly atmosphere means a lot. The store has an amazing assortment of hobby items. They carry model railroading supplies, model airplanes, model cars, military miniatures, radio-controlled vehicles, helicopters, cars, and many other hobby and collectible items. It is the kind of store where you can go in for one thing and still enjoy walking around just to see everything they have. Homewood Toy and Hobby also has the feel of a place that has earned loyal repeat customers over the years. That says something good about both the store and the people who run it. We are thankful for a local hobby store like this and appreciate the kindness, accessibility, and great selection they offer. God bless! Mark and Tim Elders

A lady came in saying that her 1 year old son did not know how to use a Nee-Doh squishy and that she had won it at an auction.

Well, I revisited Sozo Trading Co. today and I was greeted warmly again when I entered the store…read more The clothing selection looked just as great as it did the last time I was in the store and I also noticed other things such as beautiful glassware, dishes, sturdy furniture, electronics, a variety of linens plus several light fixtures and nice lamps. And then I noticed the jewelry, because the last time I visited I was looking for mystery jewelry jars and today I was happy to see five or six baggies absolutely full of costume jewelry that appeared wearable along with beads and watch parts and just everything I could use for crafting and repurposing with jewelry. So, I purchased two jewelry bags and the contents did not disappoint me when I opened them at home. So, it was another productive and great day shopping at Sozo Trading Co. In addition, there is always plenty of free parking and if you have the time there are a couple of restaurants nearby.

At their 10 year celebration, it was such a fun environment! They had raffles , special pricing and even had a coffee truck on site. I really enjoyed coming here to celebrate with them!
