The store has plenty of playing space with multiple tables and play mates already set up. Luis, the store owner, is always helpful and always there to answer questions and give advice. The store is mostly geared towards Magic: the gathering. MTG events are held throughout the week. However, Pokemon, Yu-gi-oh and Dragon ball are also carried with events every week There's a calender set up in the store to let customers what night's are dedicated to what format. This is my go-to card store in the area. Luis is always giving fair deals and unmatched customer service.

Seems like things are in flux at Mike's Trains. We made a special trip to Lompoc yesterday,…read moreheading south from San Luis Obispo. We were planning to check out / purchase hopefully several of his handmade birdhouses. We've bought a number of them in the past. That was when he had one room as an annex to a larger gift shop. Now that gift shop is gone (or moved?) and Mike is taking over both rooms. The renovation is still ongoing. When we arrived on a Monday afternoon the shop was closed, and there wasn't a sign in the window indicating the days that they are open. We could glance inside and see the remodeling and remerchandising going on, mainly to the secondary room which used to be their only space. We could see a number of birdhouses through the windows of both rooms. The prices have increased since we were last there two years ago. I can understand this - aftermath of inflation. Had the shop been open, we would have been a quandary on making a purchase. We have kept some of the birdhouses ourselves, gave them as gifts, and resold a couple after adding a few tweaks of our own. The current price point makes it harder to think of the latter purpose. Wishing Mike well in his new, expanded space. There aren't that many train hobby shops any longer, so hopefully he'll flourish.

The Pokemon Professor (judge) made a point to check in and let me know how my student was doing. A great experience and we will make it a monthly tradition.

This was my second recent trip to Michael's framing department since I moved 7 months ago to…read moreLompoc. About 2 months ago I brought a massive photo of a California condor taken by a biologist friend to be framed. The finished framed photo is 32" x 42" and is spectacular. Carol in framing was excellent - professional with ideas but never pushy. She knew how to compliment this photo with mat and frame without distracting from it. Addie in framing was helpful also with suggestions. My trip today to framing was a quick one: again, Carol and Addie were there. Carol helped select a mat for a prize winning photo from someone who entered the annual Nikon Small World contest. She cut it and it's perfect. This is "big city" quality framing in our little town. Thank you for great service.

In fact, even today, it looks "too cool for school". Last Labour Day weekend we did a self guided walking tour provided by the Lompoc Chamber of Commerce and discovered this hidden jewel along the way only to have it closed tighter than a drum. We tried to peer into the dark windows, but it seemed covered up from the inside. Closed for now due to the Pandemic. As I recall, there was a notice posted on a wall mentioning something about earthquake hazardous building? If that is true, hope the owners of this historic looking building can retrofit for earthquakes asap since this block has the most "period piece" buildIngs on West Ocean Avenue which could serve as the historic core adding a tangible connection to Lompoc's past for any new downtown redevelopment in the future. Don't be like the city of Brea, Ca that razed all of historic downtown and replaced it with a "Back to the Future" fake downtown that has nothing to do with its former past. Bakersfield is great, preserving its downtown and at the same time making it a vibrant city center by honoring its past. Can't wait until Michael's Place stages its grand reopening. Michael's was sold in 2017 so wishing the new owners much success and good fortune. 3 stars for now until Michael's reopens again.  Photo of Michael's https://m1.cbhomes.com/p/305/1059631/c573ddc98b204B7/pdl23tp.jpg
