My girlfriend and I really enjoyed ourselves in this store. Delving into an ocean of knick knacks,…read morewe loved some of the extremely unique items they have here. From vintage phones to tape dispensers that look like cassette tapes, there is quite a randomness to this place, but that makes it fun to browse. They have these incredible framed pieces that have the shape of a character/object in a book silhouetted, but instead of the silhouette being filled with black it is filled with the book's text. If you're into book posters, they also had over 10 classic novel cover posters which were quite awesome. They even had vintage and novelty thermoses and ice cube trays that formed the shape of boomboxes. They carry a few "Fred" items, which if you know the brand, are extremely fun and I'm always glad to see them in stores.

It's a great shop to drag friends who like that sort of thing into, although it's another thing trying to get them out again!
