Awesome store I've known Eric for over 20 years. Very nice service and very knowledgeable. He's…read moredefinitely a professional at his business. Anyone collecting comics or gaming supplies I recommend this place. If you're ever in downtown Pittsburgh stop by and say hi and say JK sent you.

Note: CASH ONLY! For now, anyway…read more The Bill & Walts Downtown store of yesteryear was certainly superior to this incarnation. Granted they apparently haven't been open long and have some definite bugs that need to be smoked out if they want to rival Eide's, New Dimension Comics, or Phantom of the Attic. The old B&W store never topped Eide's Entertainment in terms of comics, but they at least had a respectable, if not vast inventory, not to mention model rockets, trains, and related items on the ground floor (comics and games were in the basement). This latest version of the long-running shop is merely two unkempt, poorly lit rooms featuring nothing but comics and gaming merchandise. Their comics selection is limited to new releases and older issues that go back no further in time than the 1980's. Also, the back issues I did see were packed way too tightly into the dirty, worn longboxes, had no backing boards in them, were in dusty, moldy polybags, and were low-grade condition-wise. None of the issues I saw were high-demand or premium either. Nor were they graded. New comics and recent back issues were stacked in baskets that lined the walls, meaning you had to awkardly lift them out one-by-one to see which issues were underneath the ones you didn't want. One plus about the new B&W is that they run specials on recent back issues that can get you 50 comics for $30 in a bagged set. New Dimension does this, and I wish Eide's and Phantom's would follow suit. Unfortunately, you can't open the bags to see all the issues that are in the sets, and there's nothing telling you what all you're getting (ND will list what's in each set on the pricetag). I'm hoping B&W improves since we could always use another comics shop in Pittsburgh, particularly Downtown, but based on my experience, I have a feeling they aren't long for this city. When the gentleman minding the store was too busy phoning a friend to answer a question I had, it left me with little desire to return. P.S. Kay found a bushel of Hellraiser comics that she wanted to purchase at a bargain of a price, but being that B&W only accepts cash, she had to put them down and buy them elsewhere (Eide's!). Way to lose out on some commerce, guys.

Michael's is a retail-store chain that sells party supplies (e.g., balloons and gift bags), home…read moredecor (e.g., mirrors, accent furniture, and Christmas trees), art supplies (e.g., paints, brushes, pencils, and canvases), office supplies (e.g., paper, pens, and markers), craft supplies (e.g., fabric, yarn, jewelry beads, Cricut, and sewing machines), baking supplies (e.g., cookie cutters and fondant), professional framing, and much more. My husband and I visited this particular store in Village Square Mall. He felt interested in the paint brushes for his hobby of painting figurines. I just wanted to look around at everything! No employees greeted us as we walked around the store, but we found what we wanted. The shelves were packed full of merchandise, and the prices were reasonable.

I love shopping at Michaels. I always find what I need when I shop here. Granted I also always find…read morea bunch of stuff I don't need, but that's half the fun, right? Jokes aside, I really do enjoy browsing, seeing what's on sale, and thinking about how I'd use the aisles of materials and items to redecorate and get crafty at home. This store is always clean and well-organized, which definitely contributes to the whole "I love browsing here" thing. It's in a convenient location for me too; and it's doubly nice because I can walk through Michaels and Target during the same errand run. It's definitely worth stopping in seasonally to see what's new, at least to me! I had so much fun shopping here over the summer because of all the outdoorsy/camping-related decor. Now of course the store has been taken over by fall and Halloween items - which means soon I'll be back again to see if I need to add anything to my in-house winter wonderland. In the past I've also shopped here when I've needed items framed and when I needed paint supplies. While I'm not really making much in the way of art at the moment, I definitely know where I'll stop first if I pick that hobby back up.
