We used to live in Springfield, so our visit last month was a stop in to an old haunt. It's not in…read morethe most frequented strip of businesses, but this is nice for parking purposes. Free and ample parking for everyone! We were happily surprised to find the store larger than it used to be. They finished an expansion this last fall that allowed them to expand space for large board game tournaments and swaps. Really love the board game library free to play from as well. Plenty of space to bring friends and hang out. The friendly cashier mentioned that they are working on a partnership with the local Whimsy Tea Company to serve their DnD themed teas in the shop while folks are playing. This shop has almost everything you could want in the way of games, supplies and figurines and all at great prices. Games are sold at or below MSRP which makes the choice easy to support them. Stuff on Amazon is rarely cheaper. We bought a small card game for some friends and went on our way, but this shop will always be a stop for us while we are in Springfield.

FOR PRAIRE GARDENS FRAMING inside JEFFREY ALANS: Acquired a really lovely print but the frame was…read morefalling apart and the mat was discolored, and had no idea where to get it redone. This was the place--they really know their stuff-- offered suggestions for mat color, whether we wanted it 'weighted' (just slightly more border on the bottom so the print sits), and then walked us through various frame options. Both listened to us and made good suggestions. We even discussed whether to splurge on less-reflective glass (we did for one print, not the other given where they live on the wall). They did a beautiful job. This is the only place I would go--the front store full of fake flowers isn't our thing (though they do have live plants and nice pots), but the framing shop is independent, been around a long time, and really know what they are doing.

Ive made multiple trips to this store this year and it's without a doubt the place to go, in Springfield, for birthday presents and (of course during this time of year) holiday shopping for little ones. The store is organized and clean and located in a great shopping/entertainment area; it's located across from the Sky Zone Trampoline Park. I will be getting all of my daughter's holiday presents from this store this year (2023).

I was told to pick it up Thursday afternoon, because they were sooooo busy and the clerk behind the desk didn't know how to tie off strings. I live in Decatur, which is 40 minutes away.
