And to top it off, the women who worked in the jewelry part of the store found the appropriate chain, jump rings and strung all the crosses. I had assumed that I would get the supplies and spend the afternoon making necklaces. I was wrong, now I can admire the handiwork of others. All of the chains were gift quality and I will give some as gifts. If one needs a bead store with excellent service, go to Schaefers.

I came here for the tools required of my Gundam build and this place did not disappoint. I expected to come and go, but I ended up staying to look around for 15-30 minutes.

I was shocked at all the amazing items in this shop! Gigantic remote control cars, trucks and even boats! I didn't even know they made them that big! They are so cool! On the other side of the shop is an incredible selection of models! Hubby found a big WW II tank he had to have. But what really impressed me is the fantastic selection of model trains! Every size with absolutely everything to go with it! I had never seen so much stuff! Gorgeous little trees, animals, tiny people and buildings to decorate your train area! Tons of tracks and everything to design your dream train system! I'm not really into trains, but it made me want to be! If trains are your thing, you need to visit this little shop! Seriously fantastic hobby shop! Everyone who was working there was really nice too! Highly recommend!

I cannot tell you how neat this place is. We went in to see what kind of board game selection they…read morehave and ended up staying to gawk at how cool they made the inside of their store. You would never know it from the outside--a former brick family pharmacy-- but they've transformed the inside into a medieval castle, with a common hall in the front and a room like a castle den in the far back. The owner realized we were first-time visitors and gave us a tour. Every time we turned a corner or opened the door, my mouth dropped. There are tables for RPG or tabletop gamers at the far end of the front common room/shop space, but there are also a bunch of tables in the far back den room--which, it turns out, they also rent out for private parties. The shop inventory looked like they had a lot of items for miniatures, RPGs, and Magic the Gathering. However, they also had a respectable board game area right up front. They can also order most games they don't carry, I was informed. In sum, nice place to browse for board games and a VERY cool place for a group to hang out--or have a private party! You MUST take a look into this gem of a shop.

Weather during our holiday break was dreary gray. But road conditions were good, so we looked for…read morenew experiences. K-10 Model Trains was at the top of our "to try" list. The approach is through what you might think of as a small "warehouse district" in Maryville. You park, walk through the front entry, and find a model train hobby shop on the right. The operation is "cash only," and looked like the hobby shop I remember from my hometown. Just beyond the store area is the doorway to a very large room in which a large model train layout has been constructed (dimensions are 60' by 70', according to the website). There's a little cash donation box, if you're motivated to contribute to the cause, which I was. But no one put any pressure on me to donate. It being the Saturday afternoon before New Years Day, the place was pleasantly crowded with mainly men and boys running the trains. We met up with a regular named "Jack," who gave us the history. We spent about 30 minutes watching the action. But if you were fortunate to control a train, considering buying one, or even dreaming about constructing your own layout, then I imagine you might want to stay a long time. Thanks, K-10MT, for a wonderful and unique experience!

I went to A&R Paints & Crafts on a Saturday looking for a RC helicopter. I really didn't know…read moreexactly what I needed to get or really what I wanted. When I walked in the door I was promptly greeted by the owner who was very friendly. He asked me if I needed any help. After I told him I was interested in a RC helicopter he asked me several questions about what I wanted to do with said helicopter. After he showed me several model and options, he then let me test fly them. What kind of store nowadays lets you test something out before you buy? I quickly learned that flying a RC helicopter requires a lot of skill that I currently don't have so I decided to wait to determine what I really wanted. I will definitely be back here to buy when I'm ready. P.S. during my research of trying to determine which route to go I discovered A&R Paints & Crafts' prices are the same or better than most on-line retailers. This proves why you should shop local.

This store is bigger than what you may expect. It is divided in two--majority of inventory in…read morefront and large gaming area in back. Both areas are spacious with high ceilings. Inventory consists of newer comics, trade paperbacks, graphic novels, art books, board games, trading card games, toy figures, statues, model kits, and model paints. Items not in stock can be ordered for you. There is a long wall displaying the latest issues of comics, and there are boxes of back issues. They focus on newer comics, so you will not find older comics here. If you plan to get an ongoing comic series, then it is recommended that you use the pull-and-hold service and create a pull list. Most comic shops offer this service and can reserve and set aside titles for you to pick up at your convenience. Pull lists and subscriptions help comic shops determine which titles and quantities to order for the entire store.
