They treat you like family. $35 a month for membership is great as well. Most people spend hundreds of dollars on a gym membership and playing with their phones. You get an awesome gaming experience, plus a chance to meet and make friends with some of the best people around.

We stopped into The 8th Side in Lincoln Park for a Pokémon tournament with the kids--and left…read morefeeling like we'd discovered one of the coolest local hangouts in town! The atmosphere was buzzing with energy, but still felt warm and welcoming. One of the owners even took time to chat with us and share the story of how The 8th Side came to be. That kind of personal touch always sticks with me--it's a real neighborhood gem with heart. Although the kitchen was closing by the time we arrived (I had my eye on their noodles!), we did grab some drinks and checked out their corner filled with Pokémon cards, collectibles, and merch. If you're into games, anime, or just enjoy friendly, community-driven spaces, this spot definitely has something for you. Great service, fun vibe, and a strong local spirit--I'll be back (hopefully earlier next time!).

Stopped in on a whim after visiting Warp 9 Comics. My son-in-law has an interest in card tricks and…read moreI noticed this store as we were heading back to the car. Nice store with a lot of magic related items from books to kits to the tricks like hand buzzers. The gentleman working was a great help and spent time explaining some tricks and recommended some books. If you have even a cursory interest you should stop in.

This magic shop is nothing less than awesome. It is everything that an emporium of tricks and…read moreillusions should be. The staff is great, both guys were very helpful and talented demonstrators of various tricks. I mentioned how familiar all the props seemed from when I used to visit a little magic shop in Ferndale in the 1970s owned by Romeg the Magician and then Poof! As if by magic they pointed to a photo behind the counter and told me that this store was in fact the second reincarnation of that very magical place from my childhood, transported to Clawson 40 years later. What an amazing coincidence that I should take my nephews to buy tricks at the same place that made me fall in love with prestidigitation all those years ago. I bet that some of the items lining the walls were actually the same props from all those years ago. If you love magic this is the place to go.

Hobby lobby continues to have the best art canvases in my opinion. They are high quality and…read morereasonably priced. The acrylic paints are always good too, they don't dry too quickly.

I love Hobby Lobby overall. There's decent prices on many of their items for creating various…read morethings for various hobbies. Recently, though, there has been a huge influx of very weird AI generated images that are being sold as artwork. As a painter, this is really disappointing that a place that encourages creativity has stopped working with artist to sell their artwork in mass production. I really don't know who wants an AI portrait of a cow laying on a couch like she's being painted like one of Jack's French girls. I am thankful that Hobby Lobby hasn't gone the cold route of self-checkout. Thank you for employing people there! Please employ artists again!

This store is not a traditional comic book store. It's got a lot more than that…read more There is an entire store that is mostly just Funko Pop figures and other collectible statues. Great for people who like that stuff. Then there is a part with some new and vintage toys, comics and other types of collectibles. There is a little something for everyone, including possibly the largest selection of WWE figures in the region.

Some people out there might recognize us from our booth at the Taylor Trade Center. Our store has all the same amazing Funko POP! Vinyls, NECA products, and geeky artwork you love. When you step into our shop, your head will spin with all the cool stuff on our shelves. You'll also be able to meet others with interests just like yours -- comic book characters, sci-fi, and even gory horror. So, the next time you're in Dearborn Heights, take a look inside the shop with superheroes on the wall. We won't bite ... that hard.

The Redford Model Railroad Club is an interesting place to visit.  It is an important hub locally…read morefor the model train hobby.  The designers, architects, engineers and builders that work and play here have created a truly enjoyable layout. Their attention to detail is greatly appreciated.  I am especially happy about their open house days when the public can enter the building and watch as the work is done to build and maintain the railways as well as operate the trains and the switching system. If you have young ones interested in engineering, machines and commerce as well as nature, this is a great place to visit.  It's wonderful for all ages.  Train safety is also a matter that is taken very seriously at this location and that is important because this area has a lot of full sized trains - and learning safety during play and work on the miniaturized scale is meaningful and provides an important public service. It's a great way to spend an afternoon.
