Oversized checkers on one table caught my eye plus ukeleles, chess set, hydroponic?, libraries kids playing on a couch.

Just visited 1904 General Store for the first time…read more I visited downtown Alton yesterday -- for the first time in years. Decided to check out the general store as soon as I saw it -- it's a cool, welcoming old building. The first floor is full of candy, chocolate, fudge, ice cream, and other treats. I picked out some candy and sampled some delicious Belgian chocolate bars. I bought one for me, but I'll be back in a few months for friends' birthdays, and to try the fudge myself. The ice cream flavors (about 8) were all unique -- you aren't getting a simple chocolate or vanilla here. The most common of the flavors available was a rainbow sorbet. I think some of the other flavors were Shipwreck, Pirate's Bounty, and Superman, though I may not be recalling the names accurately. The upstairs is full of home decor items, including a wall decorated to look like someone's front porch. The styles are cute, though not my speed, as I am something of a minimalist. You can read all about their business and the building's Worlds Fair history over on their facebook page. Hope to visit again soon.

We contacted them and on day one notified them that we sold on Amazon. We were informed that not only where they a GMP facility, they also confirmed that they work with "several" Amazon sellers. After they collected over $10,000 from my company we learned that they not only did not work with "several" Amazon sellers, they in fact did NOT have an accredited GMP certificate. After over 3 months of them kicking the can down the road and saying that they were actively working to resolve my issue, they finally came back with their solution. Their solution was for my company to pay an additional $8000 to get Cheryl's Herbs accredited. Yes you read that correctly. They want MY company to pay for them to become accredited so that they can make products under the guidelines required when we bought from them. Just know that their GMP is worthless when it comes to 3rd party verification. We are now left holding the bag after all their empty promises.

First of all, the owners really did an amazing job with the renovation. Keeping some of the original charm and making this a really great space tailored for hanging out and playing games, including outdoor space. The bar area is totally awesome and I think that I would go there alone to sit at the bar. Something I don't normally do, but the bartenders seemed totally friendly and accommodating, as did all of the weight staff. Our table form arrived right at opening so it wasn't busy. But, soon, it got super busy as it was Friday night. I have to stay that. I love the crowd here - it's so diverse. Everything from a nerdy gaming crowd, dates, friends getting together, and a group was using the meeting space back in the corner. All was lively and jolly and happy. I will definitely visit again due to the atmosphere. I'm not really want to go out to bars, but this place is so accommodating and diverse. The food wasn't as amazing as I would hope but I do think that the menu is big and there's something for everyone. The table did enjoy the house made wontons and sauce. A few of us had bowls, one of us had a buffalo chicken wrap and they were all just OK. We did split the barbecue chicken quesadilla and I think that we all agreed that it was the best thing we had. I am excited that I have found a new place in Soulard and I can't wait to go back with my spouse as a date. This place is an absolute gem. Oh, I also wanted to mention the service procedure. It's totally in genius. You have little colored sticks that you used to show the weight staff that you're either ready to order, ready for the check. That way they don't have to interrupt your social gathering or gameplay.

There is a lot of street parking around the area. I ordered a Hightail which is a cannabis-infused drink. I ordered the "Whose turn is it?" It's a cherry and lime flavored drink, and the cannabis taste was very slight. I tasted it more in the aftertaste than in the actual drink. For food, I ordered the Thai Chili Vinaigrette Salad as a wrap and added chicken. It was delicious. It was refreshing, sweet, and had the slightest bit of spice. The chips on the side were crunchy and salty. All of the staff were attentive and friendly, which added to the positive atmosphere. I didn't play any board games, but I'd love to come back!
