    Went there to check out the role playing game section. The store has three floors. The main floor contains role playing games, board games, war games, and some other goodies. The bottom floor is primarily a used book store with some other things like VHS videos and other oddities. The top floor is where customers can game at. I showed up on a Saturday around lunch and there were three groups, totaling around 15-20 people, playing role playing games and war games. The store had a lot of fun things to check out. There was street parking outside and a nearby parking structure. The bathrooms are located upstairs in one of the game rooms which is kind of an odd place, but the building is probably 100 years old so not unexpected. If you're looking for new role playing stuff, they have a selection of the more common games like D&D, Pathfinder, Shadowrun, Palladium, and other popular games. They also carry some role playing accessories like dice, bags, and related board games.

    This place helped me get into gaming in the eighties and it still has nostalgia for me.

    This place was a huge disappointment. I took my 3-year old granddaughter on an outing and chose…read morethis local bookstore as part of it. She LOVES reading, and I thought it would be fun to visit a local, independent bookstore. It is a used bookstore, which was not clear from website description. The book choices for preschool children were minimal - a single small bookcase of books - most of which were ancient. (There was a Dick and Jane book there if you want to gauge age of the books). The books were poorly organized and many were very worn. As my granddaughter said, "This bookstore is boring." It was a shame as small communities need good bookstores. This wasn't it. I've been to some GREAT small independent bookstores; I know they can be amazing. This was just depressing.

    THIS is one fantastic bookstore. In fact, it is *the quintessential* small town bookstore, the one…read moreyou actually read about in books and wish you had one yourself. If you're anywhere near Elkhart, YOU DO. Lucky us!! Things we love: The work in progress Harry Potter closet under the stairs. YEP!!! The amazing staff! The owners are SO community-minded. It's remarkable. Of course, excellent selection of books THE CUTEST kids area Rolling bookshelves for event space (!) Events! (such as poetry open mic, or local authors) Local authors are featured Knowledgeable staff FANTASTIC sitting clever signs Things that make me sad: We live an hour away. Go! And, perhaps, you'll write your OWN novel, about a bookstore, and this will be your model. LOVE!
