I met Mrs. Gray years ago through one of her sons. She was a real gem. I don't like the term…read more"character", but she was one of those things. And a good mother. I wish I had gotten to know her. Years ago, I went back to her shop. Mrs. Gray had died years before. Her shop was now a kind of exhibit place, and it was still filled with an incredible collection of "stuff" - toys, lunchboxes, wigs, figurines, buttons, everything you can think of - and lots of it in bins classified by color like a big bin of red toy cars. It was overwhelming and a lot of fun. I think the grand daughter or niece of Mrs. Gray was my friendly hostess in the store. I was allowed to roam the store freely - alone, stunned and amazed. They had named the place Elsewhere and there was some sort of organized group connected to the place. I got on their mailing list and sent them a contribution. Some years later, in 2014, I returned to my beloved hometown, Greensboro, for a visit. An old friend of mine and I walked the length of Elm Street, starting at the few blocks leading up to the Jefferson Standard Building - heading toward Lee Street. I relived many memories of my youth, my "hippie days" (circa 1967) and my working class hero days on that walk. We stopped in a lot of shops and the clerks and customers were friendly and seemed to like us. We supported those shops by making some purchases. It was quite a pleasant stroll. We reached Elsewhere. I hadn't been back there for decades. The people there were very full of themselves. They seemed suspicious of us, two traditional looking white old guys. I guess that was it. I've been around and I can recognize people who are too hip for their own good. They were entirely unwelcoming. I got the feeling that they wondered what we were doing there. They treated us like we were shoplifters or CIA. We wordlessly left the place. It was very disappointing to me. I did not send another donation.

What a fun little place to visit! I drove past it on Elm street and I couldn't help but be drawn in…read morevisually by the eye candy of this place. I hit the breaks and immediately parked my rental so i could satisfy my itching curiosity. Plenty of street parking made it easy to pull over on a whim! When i walked in, i wasn't sure if this place was a coffee shop, or a thrift store, or a restaurant, you just can't tell until you ask. Luckily, ladies in the front were ready to give me a thorough explanation. Elsewhere is a living museum; meaning, everything inside used to belong to an old lady (who i believe is already dead). you donate $1 to go inside and then you are allowed to interact with everything you see. You can pick up books, play with toys, play the musical instruments, move things around. You name it! you can do it! Piles and piles of random tid bits and jurassic technology lurks around watching you from infinite shelf space and hidden corners. Broken 1950s television set houses a 1970s typewriter. Toy cars are piled together, toy phones are displayed artistically. Fabric is color coded and so are books. Let your imagination run wild here and don't be afraid to touch and feel and see everything that is around you. Trust your inner artist to be moved by the environment and then move the environment to leave a little piece of your voice in here. Move a little toy gun from the green toy section and put it on top of a book in the library. Or rip a page out of a book, write on it and place it inside a typewriter. You can do all of this in here! I believe this place also doubles as an art/center/school where they invite an artist in residency to teach workshops and classes at different times of the year. This reminded me of a few things: 1) The 2009 Exhibit at the MOCA in NYC: "Waste Not" by Chinese artist Song Dong, about his mother's hoarding behaviors after her husband's passing. 2) The City Museum in St. Louis, MO 3) The Museum of Jurassic Technology in Los Angeles, CA. 4) A really cool antique/thrift/flea market I really enjoyed stumbling upon Elsewhere. A creative way to turn junk into art and let you, the visitor, interact with your chaotic surroundings!

The arrangements are consistently nice. Nothing over-the-top or crazy unique, but they're done right and look good every time. The staff has always been friendly and professional. They don't overdo it, but they make things easy and straightforward, which I actually appreciate. I've found that spending around $60-$80 gets you a solid arrangement that feels fair for what you're paying. I've never walked out feeling like I overpaid, and I've also never had a bad experience here. It may not be the walk in and blow you away type of shop, but it's dependable--and that goes a long way. If you need something that looks good and don't want any hassle, this is a good spot to check out.

It doesn't look like a traditional bookstore, with its beach-colored walls and light wood floors and bookcases. You can see the walls here, unlike some bookstores with every bit of wall space occupied. The aisles are widely spaced and the bookshelves, while full, are not crammed. From a distance, the beaded curtain in the back corner looks like just another case of books. It's eye-catching and blends in well to the rest of the decor. There's a large table and some chairs in that corner, and the children's section has the cutest kid chairs. The books cover all genres and are mostly used books but with some new titles also. In either case, new or used, there's enough of everything for any interest, but not so much as to be overwhelming. If you want to test-read a new genre, it'll be easy to find a book to do that here. The section of books by NC authors is easy to find, but I thought the selection was a little thin. On the other hand, the staff must have every book title in this place memorized, because at least three people came in looking for something and were led right to it. This is a nice bookstore, and easy to browse. It seems more a bookstore for quickly grabbing something to read rather than one for spending time going through stacks. Sometimes that's enough. If you have the time, though, it's a worth a visit just to absorb that beach-vibe.
