    I enjoyed this convention...however, the downfall is that it started very slow. I did the full…read moreweekend pass and on Friday the opening ceremony was less than impressive. It seemed like only half of the vendors were set up and prepared, and the weird buffet seemed very unorganized with not enough tables. I think for a little convention it did justice, however it was pretty much based around Star Wars and Star Trek. There are so many different types of Sci Fi shows/movies out there to explore. Anyway, I don't know if I'd honestly come back to this convention unless I know one of the voice actors. Again, I get it, it's not big like Otakon or Katsucon...however for a smaller convention, I'd expect it to still be just as diverse and probably MORE organized. Thankfully I got to get info from other conventions to check out.

    I've been coming to the Farpoint con for a few years now with a group of friends. It have never…read morehad a bad time. The hotel is clean and comfortable. The con is great. I have met some really great guests and the con staff are great and very helpful. The dealers room is amazing with a very diverse product for sale. Then there's the auction room. I've picked up some cool stuff there. The workshops are all very interesting, entertaining, and educational on all levels. I drive 4 hours south to spend the whole weekend. We even stay till Monday morning so we don't miss anything. We then have a last night dinner at the restaurant. If your a Scifi/fantasy fan then your gonna love this con. There is also a great night life too. Karaoke Friday night, and then the dance on Saturday. Activities for kids, guests Q&A etc...

    A news mart...with no news. It's obvious that things have drastically changed since the last review…read morefor this place. I went to this newsstand in search for a newspaper for a project. I know it's almost 2026 and many newspaper producers have moved on to online media. 7-Eleven has very limited selections for newspapers. So, I did an online search for the closest newsstand and Hamilton News Mart came up. It's directly on Harford road. I've seen it many times as I drove by. It looks like an attractive old school news store...from the outside. I'm thinking that they have changed ownership in the last few years, but I could be wrong. I found a good spot right near the front entrance. As soon as I walked in, I knew something was amiss. Clouded bullet proof glass separated the cashier from the customer. I turned around and saw a completely empty rack near the wall. Not one paper, periodical, NOTHING. No magazines, not ONE. On another rack was some (very) random brochures/pamphlets. It looked like some kind of lottery/keno situation in the back. The whole place just seemed dusty and shady. I looked at the cashier and asked if he had any newspapers. He sheepishly said no. I was so perplexed because...newsstand?! Granted, it was after 4pm, but you can honestly get a newspaper anytime of day. It seemed as if they hadn't carried any at all & for a while. I really do not like giving out 1 star reviews, but I feel like people should know if a place isn't what it says in its name. If I had come here after work on a busy weekday evening, I would've been really upset that I wasted my time. This place is not a news mart. I honestly don't know what it is exactly. They should really think about a name change. Hamilton Keno, maybe.

    An icon for the business district, the Hamilton News Mart has every single magazine or newspaper…read moreyou might be looking for. I can remember going there when I was just out of college. I've found magazines in there that I didn't know existed! It's amazing how much is in that tiny space! I never have a problem parking in Hamilton, but hey, I know how to troll for a space and parallel park. Guess those kinds of skills come with age and maturity.
