They have new limited hours 10-2 Tuesday-Thursday, which is all fine and dandy until you show up at 10am that first Wednesday and the place is so crowded it's almost hard to look at the bikes. I was pretty upset that they could not operate at normal hours so crowds would be more dispersed, or that they had better crowd management and social distancing implemented. For being part of the university, I was extremely disappointed and frustrated just by their handling of COVID that day. I hope it isn't that bad now that all freaks have gone in for the stuff they couldn't get for 6 months. (Keep in mind they do only allow 10 people in the actual building at once, so these 30+ people were outside, way too close to each other and blocking major paths for other shoppers. I only looked at the bikes, of which they had a lot, because they were outside and that's what I needed. ALL of the female adult city bikes were in bad shape. Rusted chains and gears, brakes either way too loose or not connected right, need it replacement tubes and/or tires, and i thought the prices they were asking for them were ambitiously high for needing so many repairs. Some were good quality and appropriately priced but as those things work, none of them were my size or style so I walked away without a bike. Overall a very bad experience for my first time at LS. I expect to go back maybe when they expand their hours and the virus isn't as prevalent, but for now I'm even more upset with the university than before. Oh well.

Great place for hard-to-find furniture and other office items…read more Avoid this place like the plague if you're shopping for older computers and computer accessories, as they have no clue what that junk is worth. However, if you're up for a DIY project and need some sturdy furniture and random items in which to start, you can't beat this place in town. Great location to get old chairs, tables, desks, file cabinets, and other random goodies. If you don't mind a little work on your part, you can restore some of these classics to good, working condition. In the Spring of 2014 I picked up two vintage, black office chairs with wheels. Solid steel frames with steel casters. The underside was dry-rotted away, but the fabric and spring webbing was still in good condition. Probably dates from early 70s or late 60s, I gave those chairs a deep steam cleaning, removed the underside, and polished the chromed steel to a shine. I also picked up a square table with a nice poly-sealed wooden top and a thick, sturdy steel leg in the middle, that branched out to steel cross-legs at the bottom. It looked custom built, not something you'd find from a wholesaler. I bet Penn State's OPP built them, and when they build stuff, it lasts for decades. Wonderfully overbuilt. A deep scrubbing and some polishing was all that was needed for the table.

Harpers is a rare gem to have in this area, and we're lucky to have them. The staff are all very fashion-forward, and are all more than capable to send you on your way looking sharper than when you came in. The store itself is very upscale, and feels like a place you'd find on Savile Row (without the Savile Row prices.) Really great seasonal selections, with a lot of well-curated accessories available. Their custom garments are where they really shine however. With hundreds of fabrics, linings, buttons, and styles to choose from, it is always a joy creating something that is uniquely yours. I'm looking forward to my next custom piece.

Yeah, if you are on a budget and need some cute PSU stuff or some funky things for your dorm room, you need to go to 5 Below. Posters, makeup, magic tricks, art stuff, phone cords, retro candy?

Being able to pick up my (large) bakery order and not leaving someone disappointed at home makes me happy. Had my list of must haves. I meandered through all the departments. Wasn't on a time schedule. I spent 2 hours in the store. Found beautiful baby lamb chops. Filets were $6/lb cheaper than my grocery store. Bought beautiful endive. Had to bring home the red wine peppered salami. Coming home, opening the cooler, and handing out foodie presents is like Christmas morning. The oohs and aahs were heard at multiple houses. The staff were very helpful finding my treasures. Wegmans trips make traveling for business worth it.
