Books-A-Million is the staple big bookstore in smaller towns across Alabama. (I didn't go to my…read morefirst Barnes & Noble until I moved to El Paso)... in general, the two bookstores aren't THAT much different other than the coffee Shoppe. BAM has Joe Muggs instead of Starbucks.. and I'm not gonna lie, I think I like Joe better than the bucks. Any who. This particular store is in the Gadsden Mall as opposed to a stand alone or an outlet shoppe , so it stays pretty busy. It's also a bit small and cramped and because of all that it seems messy and chaotic. It's not a peaceful place to read in a comfy chair while you sip a cup of tea trying to decide which book(s) to buy... But it's good just for perusing the shelves. They have pretty much anything for anyone and any occassion (I do a lot of gift shopping here because books are my favourite gifts to give.) The children's section is pretty big and kid friendly. They have your standard new arrivals/book club/ popular fiction, entertainment section with games and such, lots of bios, a magazine wall, self help, educational, etc. They also keep up with the required reading lists from local schools and keep those in stock so you don't have to search hard. Like I said, anything for anyone. It's not the best, but it's still a bookstore. And that's enough to make me happy.

I even bought an d Disney book and a Disney glass we collect. The only reason I didn't give it 4 stores is because it isn't a true antique store. Now some booths are, but some had new or reclaimed items - which were nice, but not what I'd consider antiques. There was also clothing and jewelry (I left with a necklace and bracelet as well). Overall great place, even has a little deli. We just didn't eat there.

This is kind of a hidden gem. Think big department store that you would find at the mall ... but…read morestand alone with it's own parking lot. They don't have all the same brands and household items you may find at one of the bigger mall based department stores, but they make up for it with friendly employees and a really good selection all at some really good prices. Layout is really crowded, they have so much stuff crammed in here you'll be turning side ways to navigate some of the aisles. Really good shoe selection with some brands you won't find at other department stores (good brands - as well as the other well known brands). Sign up for email alerts and you'll get 20% off one item coupons and things like that. Really good deal when you can stack that with the already good prices they have. Great location and great service. Highly recommend if you've never been to one of their locations.

Once inside, I was shocked at how trendy the clothes were (for men and women). They're also really good quality.

I picked up some Harp and Dragon and can't wait to find the perfect project to use it for! It's a place you can go and hang out and do some crocheting or knitting, have a cup of tea, and simply relax with good company. I was only there briefly with my husband, but I'm already excited to go back and spend more time. It is a wonderful local place that adds even more charm to the small area. One day (sooner than later!) I want to return for an extended visit and get to know it better. The service is warm and attentive, and the quality for the value is on point.

I've been driving by this little shoe store for 5 years and never once stopped. For some odd…read morereason I thought it was mostly running shoes that they sold, but yesterday I discovered that is NOT the case. I was with a friend who suggested we stop, and what a surprise! They have a lot of wonderful casual shoes for men and women, and some great brands, like Yellow Box and Merrille, and most wonderful of all, they have good prices on them. I loved their selection, and the women who worked there were helpful in the extreme. I had them running back and forth bringing me different shoes in different sizes for an hour, and they were continually cheerful and never resentful. Call me crazy, but in the end I bought 6 pairs of shoes, including sandals and wedgies -- and my friend bought 8 pairs! This is not something we normally do; I've never bought more than 2 pairs of shoes at once in my life! But I bought 6, and I'm not at all sorry, because they were so cute and such an incredible bargain (a half-price sandals sale was going on). Check out this wonderful shoe store. You may be as surprised and pleased as I was.
