Good selection of art products with helpful staff. Almost everything needed if you're an artist…read more Two small gripes: (1) certain natural animal hair brushes are not sold at Blicks. (2) If you're looking for a rarely used art item, like lacquer, you might be a little frustrated. Other than that, great store with very helpful staff ranging. Overall cleanliness: above average Misc: If you like fun erasers (think of an eraser shaped like a pickle), Blick has them.

Huge selection of art supplies. Great prices too. The staff was really nice and helpful.read more

In 1943, German immigrants Hilda and Berthold Reich, Sigmund and Mathilda Rohrbach, and Justin and…read moreAlma Zimmerman opened the Fabric Shop in Cleveland, Ohio. After expansion, in 1963, the name was changed to Jo-Ann Fabrics. The store's name was created by combining the names of the daughters from both families: Joan and Jacqueline Ann. This location is their headquarters. You can find more info on the internet. I found the controversy Jo-Ann's became involved in during Covid very interesting. Jo-Ann Stores, LLC, known as Jo-Ann & JOANN, is an American specialty retailer of crafts and fabrics based in Hudson, Ohio. It operates the retail chains JOANN Fabrics and Crafts. I've been shopping at Jo-Ann's for so many years I can't count. My favorite stores were in Florida where we had many locations near my home. Now it's not as easy to get to a store in NYC. My Mother was a seamstress and all of my Aunts sewed. I would get the material that I wanted and they would sew for me. Now I am fortunate to have a daughter that inherited the love of sewing. She's good at it too! We still get our fabric from Jo-Ann's either in the store or online.

So sad they are leaving our area!!!! I will miss the fabrics and great deals. Great value for the…read moremoney.

I would stop into Hixson's as a kid for candy. I was on a walk yesterday and decided to stop in to…read morecheck out the holiday decorations and I'm very glad I did. Bill Hixson is a world famous decorator and helped decorate the White House thru many different presidencies and eras. I picked up a couple gifts while I was there. This is a must visit store in Cleveland and especially during the holiday season.

Popped in xmas eve just for nostalgia's sake. I wasn't really in the market for any more ornaments…read more Not really anything new in there, but i did notice some things i left out of the first review. There is a display of figures that were from the old Halle's department store. And they had ornaments that Mr. Hixson had created for the White House. He was there that day, incidentally. I bought a shiny banana ornament, because pretty much every other ornament was golf, nautical or parrot themed. I'm not really into any of those. One thing i thought of was to describe the place as "Hoarders"-ish, then i read my old review and discovered i already had. There were lots of customers that day, and some were buying candied fruit slices out of the front case. Eeps. I'm not even sure those were intentionally candied, or if the ravages of time had petrified them. I' d rather eat my glass banana ornament just to be on the safe side.
