Around 2017, I purchased several fake Gameboy Advance cartridges from this seller without being…read moreinformed that they were reproductions. To be fair, I should have been more attentive, although it's completely inappropriate to sell counterfeit cartridges as if they were legitimate retro hardware. The prices were also inflated; for example, I paid $34.99 each for two copies of Pokemon FireRed, when the going rate for an authentic, out-of-box copy at the time was about $20 (according to PriceCharting). One of the FireRed cartridges turned out to be fake and other was real. Another cartridge they sold me was Final Fantasy IV, which I later discovered was fake. Unfortunately, the FFIV cartridge doesn't save any game progress. I'm not sure if they're still selling fake GBA cartridges as authentic, and while it's possible they didn't realize the difference, it's still disappointing. They did manage to sell me an authentic copy of Castlevania Aria of Sorrow though, so it seems to be hit-or-miss. I'm still on the lookout for a reliable retro games shop in MN that sells authentic GBA cartridges. I won't be returning to this seller due to the previous disappointing experience.

The store had a lot going on as far as the sale section and just merchandise everywhere as it's holiday season. I generally like browsing around just because. Store was pretty organized.

As I had plenty of time to spare for Lunch with my brother (at the nearby 5-8 Club), I wandered over. Know Name Records struck me as a combination of a CD/Vinyl records store, a head shop, t-shirt seller, memorabilia collection, head shop, disk golf dealer, and rummage sale. The later was based on a couple sets of old speakers, a turntable, and other vintage items that were for sale. Plus from this person of 65's perspective, it didn't look like the 2 older guys tending the counter had escaped the 60s. :) I had a great time looking around. I wasn't much interested in the weed-related or vinyl merchandise, and I would never get those speakers on the plane. But, the CDs were interesting and I found a great Vikings/Prince "Purple Reign" (if only for that NFL team) jersey that I just had to take home (see picture). I'm sure to come back the next time I'm anywhere this side of the Crosstown Freeway. Plus I'd fully expect that there would be a whole new inventory to explore. Good prices too.

Words is a cozy little bookstore located inside Minneapolis-Saint Paul Airport.

That made me laugh. Even for a small bookstore, it does have a wide selection of genres to choose from. They also sell coloring/art supplies as well as gifts like knick knacks and magnets. I got a magnet saying I love banned books, which I do. Great little place, and an excellent store if you need a book and are stuck in MSP airport.

I appreciated the variety and decor. I did try to strike up a conversation with the store employee twice, but it was a somewhat unfriendly encounter. A little bummed because I was seeking a book recommendation. Unfortunately, I didn't realize that the bookstore was also subject to the hospitality charge so my book ended up being more expensive than anticipated and that I could find elsewhere. I might choose to purchase a book on-the-way to the airport next time instead of my usual in-the-airport tradition. I'm assuming this isn't the store's fault directly, but did impact my experience. {32}

I simply could not get the transfer code from Xfinity for my paid-off iPhone 13ProMax THAT DAY so Ron said, "let's just swap out a phone for you." And it was a standard iPhone 14, (much poorer camera features.) I put it on auto pay, and come to find out, I'm stuck with a three-year contract. Two years into it I still owe $1000. I am visually impaired, as I told them at the time - it was obvious. Ron said, "it's the best deal you can get," and his rude boss, Reid, finally getting back to me, belligerently kept saying "you signed a contract." He had no compassion for a mentally and physically impaired senior. If Ron Mills is working at this store that day you want to set up a business account, DON'T, find another location if you want to get a business account. Or better yet, another carrier, )Ron services several stores.)
