Thus far, I've only dealt with them on the phone, but will pick the order up in person, and will thus be more able to give a better overview of their stock and layout. So I will leave this as it stands, looking forward to completing my observations when I have the order in my hands.

Great to see a store like this open in The Heights!…read more Mostly factory sealed vinyl in the genres of: Punk, Hardcore, Indie/College, Metal, Rock, Hip Hop. Has a small but growing section of used records as well. Store also carries Stereo Equipment and a wicked supply of mounted Show Posters. The guy running the place is super helpful, I've been in twice and both times a superior experience. I enjoyed the music related conversations we've had, was helpful when I need to return a damaged record and remembered who I was, so that's a bonus. Also, they have a loyalty/reward card as well. Support local business!

Awesome music store. Lots of great new stuff and good used records as well. Good selection of CDs…read moreas well if that is your thing. Always good for a chat about music as well.

By the way, I'm not a tea lover at all, but If I ever became one, it's because of Rumi Rose…read moreGarden's tea! They have more than 35 different tea flavors and they don't make a show out of that :D Okay! the place looks so creepy for the outside, but nice and super clean from the inside! Their chairs are not that comfy but it's okey, The tea house, in addition to teas, offers wide rang of hot beverages (latte etc), pastries (cheesecake etc) and middle Eastern appetisers (eg. Humus). Of course their main thing is TEA! I had four different types and I was always blown away by it's magical flavor! to the extend that it made me hate other teas! it ruined me :S The Joint also have a ME grocery corner, the good side is that the place doesn't smell like other regular ME grocery shops :D very neat I have to say! They also have Sufi bookstore upstairs and they offer *free* SUFI meditation session every Wednesday @7.30 for 30 min. I tried the sessions twice, a small group of 7-10 from diverse ethnic backgrounds with nice music that they call "TASABEEH" and then you can have some tea before you leave. Really liked the place! check it out, esp the top floor. I gave it 4, though I thought it's more of 4.5 but I think the seating area could be improved to earn the full mark! Keep it up guys! p.s check Rumi's books upstairs, they're different !

Came here on my hunt for cheapo goodies…read more Parking is available in front on Hastings, as well as the various free lots dotting the S side of Hastings. The inside is newer than Dollar Giant (yay!), but the selection is mostly identical. Not too surprising. Oh, and they also pulled the "$1.25" thing. Sigh. One thing to note - they are open longer than Dollar Tree on all 7 days. Something to keep in mind.

This is the first time I've been there and I had no idea how many different items that they actually carry besides comic books. Action figures, sports cards, Toys, Games, Collectables, there was so much to see! We had come in to purchase plastic card protector sheets. The ones that have 9 slots per page, and typically go into binders. It is so hard to find these anymore ! They weren't cheap ( 30$ for 100 pages ) But they were really good quality. The owner was super friendly and helpful. I would totally return to the store when I have more time to check it out further. You should too!

I did call the store to let them know...he said they haven't gotten any complaints...I said, I am complaining now. Spoke to the manager...was told they would check the store...sadly, I won't go there again. I know the bites are from a bed bug because I worked in the dtes before and had to deal with this problem. Hopefully they can heat steam the entire place so the problem is dealt with. Ugh

Heidi, Ray and Carrie are really excellent to deal with.

Rare for me to give a 4 star until I actually buy, but Karrie here was so helpful and friendly!…read more even with a few ppl waiting, and I was here for price shopping, she took her time. And when you have the high prescription like I do, it does pay to look around. So used to seeing DT optometrists and retail stores, here they price to sell, not just do a markup high enough to have clearance sales later so open for business in other words ;) $80 for a complete eye exam! dilution, check for cataracts, etc. and fitting fee for contact lens reasonable at $25. It's not a fancy dancy store, almost a clinic in a way, but a decent selection of name brands and obviously, not high-end.

First time here and initial impression is good with a bright , clean and tidy interior full of Ikea shelves . There's also a separate room reserved for various Gundam model kits and 1/6th scale figures .

Came here specifically for their Boxing week special and even though I'm only * one cent * away from qualifying for the $40 discount , dude suggested i should buy more instead . That's fine . Really . No biggie ; )
