Bio Dome is a must visit if you're in the Jamestown area for the first time. They feature art,…read moreplants, artisan crafts, and other items all locally made or manufactured in the Jamestown area. You can get a magnet or t-shirt from some area attraction gift shops but if you want something unique to Jamestown or Chautauqua County and want to support local artists and business owners, Bio Dome is the place to go. I highly recommend the Chautauqua Soap Co. products as well as the hand-turned wood pens.

This store is excellent with an awesome selection of restored antique products such as furniture…read moreand decorative pieces. The staff is very helpful and friendly and the place is set up very nicely. I've gotten several pieces from this store as gifts as well as shopped for others for gifts here and will continue to do so. Would definitely recommend this shop to anyone who has a taste in restored antiques.

My mom and I used to go to Country Woods around Christmas every year when I was a kid to browse and…read morelook at everything to get into the holiday spirit. I remember buying a Boyd Bear one time with my allowance. Over Thanksgiving, we decided to stop by for the first time in quite a while! Have to say, a lot of it seems very familiar and I am always impressed on how much they can get in there and how it is organized/decorated. A lot of care goes into it. I don't really recommend it for strollers/those with mobility issues/small children as the aisle spaces can be narrow and much in reach to accidentally be bumped. The rooms just keep on going and take up even more of the plaza than I remember! Most all of the items seem like they are of really good quality. I would say in general things are a bit pricey for Jamestown, but there are various price points and many things to buy in various price ranges. As per the name, most items have a more rustic/country/antiqued look to them. This isn't really my mom or my decorating style, but we still found items that we liked. They carry everything from curtains, lamps, wall art, pillows, quilts, decorative containers, candles, ornaments and more for home decor. There was also a large Vera Bradley section, as well as some other bags and accessories with a bit of a vintage/historical flair. If you are driving through the area, it is a neat place to check out that carries a lot of different things that you won't find at the big box stores.

If it were possible to rate this with negative stars I would! My father brought a very expensive…read morewatch here to have the battery replaced. In the process, the jewelry store lost a part, scratched the crystal and my father was given the watch back IN A BAGGIE IN SEVERAL PIECES. AFter sending it back to the manufacturer, my dad received an estimate of $178 to fix the damages caused by Carlson's Jewelry Smithing. I took the estimate back to them assuming the owner would want to make it right, instead he swore at me (tell me my father was a "rude son of a bitch) and threw the estimate back at me state, "i'll see you in court". Nice way to run a business. After telling my story to several friends and co-workers, I learned of at least 8 other people who had similar run ins with this same business. DON'T EVER TAKE ANYTHING HERE TO BE REPAIRED!!! I wish I had know of all this before hand, that's why i felt compelled to post this...
