we were downtown while visiting 'home'. Having grown up in Lawrence when you had Kief's and…read moredoing record hunting the first time around I found it rather soul soothing to go into a place again and thumb through a thousand records again. Some are new, some are used. Place is packed with records from one end to the other and you have to navigate in/around the people there which is how it was done in the old days. I remember finding 'The Information Society' in downtown Lawrence as a teen, was funny to me in that I was picking up They Might Be Giants first release, and the Big Science release from Laurie Anderson. Things I did in the late 1980s once before. I hate feeling like some old person saying 'back in my day' but there is a sense of contentment to flip through a huge selection of sounds, seeing things and deciding if based just on the cover if it's worth spending your hard earned money on. Something playing over head selected by someone who works there, finding something new, it was a shared experience that I think we miss now with everything algorithmic and solo. The only downside being that it's hard to balance a solid selection in a physical location, I'm sure compared to 'online' but there's nothing quite like flipping through records and finding something you were looking for. Solid pricing for a retail location in downtown, you're not going to buy 11 records for a penny like Columbia house but you won't be disappointed with the selection and the hunt.

If you're anywhere near Lawrence Kansas, make sure you stop in and patronize this small business. You'll be surprised what you'll find. I'm going back to Ohio with a smile on my face.

DONT SHOP HERE!!!!…read more Olha at the zona rosa vintage stock is a muy mal human being. In case she's not wearing her name tag, She's a short dumpy girl with glasses. She tried to convince me that a collectible was complete in box when it was visibly showing slots for parts that were empty. She told me those are for the parts on the figure and i took her at her word. I felt at-ease when she told me I had 30 days to return it for a full refund. I asked if I could return it to the entertainmart in Saint Joseph (also a joke of a business) because I live an hour north of here. She said yes! After some online research I see the figure is indeed missing parts. 6 in total. I called the Saint Joseph Entertainmart to make sure what Olha told me was correct. She verified and told me to bring them in. I was greeted by a guy that told me to head to register 1 for my refund. I went to register 1 and was next in line when the cashier just walked out of the store without saying anything to me. Not hold on, excuse me, NOTHING! Then after 10 minutes the guy walks in and says the district manager told him I cannot return the items because they are used. One was brand-new according to vintage stock and the other was used. They told me I could take them back to zona rosa and get my refund. How convenient! I'm at work so I ask my wife to take them back for me. The guy working the counter immediately said, "didn't the Sain't joseph store already tell you No on this return". My wife said, "actually the saint joseph store said to bring them back here." When asked by the male worker why Olha told me I could return these items she exclaimed, "I never said that!" They basically told my wife tough luck and have a nice day. To sum it up, Not only are the employees at these stores untrained. They are also liars with terrible customer service skills. They reserve the right to refuse a return, even if it's a legit return, as they see fit. The manager has the final say on a case by case basis according to their online website, which is full of grammatical and spelling errors which adds to the sketch of this business. Olha, learn what your store policy is, don't blurt stuff out of your mouth if it isn't true. While we're on the subject of truth, when asked if you said something that you definitely said, be an adult an own up to it. Don't lie a second time to avoid accountability

If you are in the market to get rid of some books, records, posters, cassettes, electronic players, etc then they will buy those items on the spot as well.

Between this, the little free libraries and KC Library, we feel like we're able to stave of the iPads and enjoy reading. It's tucked into the shopping center at the Intersection of Death, but it's still worth the trip IMO. They have so many books in great condition and for really fair prices. It can be a tiny bit tricky to find things but once you get your bearings you'll be good to go. The vibes in here are part bookstore, part library, part vintage market. All that to say, it works well for what it is. They also have toys and other things that I constantly have to tell my girls "no" to. Service is always friendly; on our last trip in, they made sure to give my girls some bookmarks and other freebies that only added to their excitement.

Now before I even get started with this, let me make it clear that I'm not a bona fide gamer. I…read moredon't spend my hours glued in front of a big screen television playing all of the latest games. What I am is an old school video game lover. Once upon a time I was the owner of a PlayStation one and over the years It got misplaced. I've been telling myself for a while to try to find a way to get another one but with new games and consoles being introduced all the time, I feared that I would never be able to find an original classic. When I googled play station one in search of trying to find places that sold them I was led to this place. I looked at the reviews and they seem to be a spot that a lot of people approved so I decided I'd give them a call. When I called them and told them that I was looking for an original PlayStation one, I was immediately surprised that they had it. Not only did they have it, the price that they were selling it for was extremely affordable especially in these days and times. But before I could commit to buying it I had one more question for them. The number one game that I love to play on the PlayStation one was Tekken 3, and when I asked them if they had that, they stated that they did. At that point I was sold and I came in the next day and purchased my PlayStation one and my game Tekken three. After receiving the game. I immediately came home and hooked it up and I noticed a problem right away when it took me five attempts to get the game to come on before it would. When I seen that it came on I was willing to forgive the five tries, until I turned off the game and went about my business and came back hours later to play again only to find that the Console would not come on at all. I decided that I was going to take the console back and demand either a replacement or a refund. When I arrived they were so friendly and helpful. They immediately discovered that the problem was the power cord to the game. They quickly issued me a new power cord and assured me that if there were any more problems they would be more than happy to fix it at no extra charge. I brought the cord home hooked it up and I have been in tekken land ever since. Now that I've talked about my experience I will talk about the layout of the store. They do have a lot of retro games. They do have Nintendo, the wii and all of the other games, but what I saw that I haven't ever seen before was they have a gaming room. Set up with gaming chairs, different sizes of TVs and they said they virtually have any game that you were interested in playing. You can pay a price to play for an hour, or half a day or all day. You can pay for snacks while you play games. Unfortunately they won't let you in the room unless you're going to play games in there but I did get a sneak peek as a kid came out to switch out games. This has become a popular hang out in the Topeka area and now I know why. I literally saw parents bringing their kids to this place and coming back to pick them up later. Maybe one day just out of curiosity I may go and play a game for an hour just to see what it's like. They also state that you can throw gaming parties. So if you are into classic games like me or you are a bona fide gamer this is definitely a place you want to check out
