My daughter wanted to buy a TY stuffed dragon. She had a limited amount of money and she made the decision to buy the one we thought was $9.99. Got up to the register and the woman rang it up at $6.99. I exclaimed to my daughter, "NICE! It's cheaper than we thought." The woman took my card and then said, "wait that one is $9.99." I said oh that's fine that's what we were expecting. She went on to adjust the order and said "yeah the ones with sequence are 9.99 and the regular ones are 6.99... but you knew that." I was shocked! Was she accusing me of trying to get one over on her? I told her I "assumed we misread the price or there was a sale." I am not the one who told her the price, she's the worker she should know how to ring up merchandise correctly! She said "that's fine for you but doesn't work well at the end of the day." She treated me like I was trying to steal $3! Like I switched the tags or demanded a lower price. SHE rang up the order! I said it was cheaper than what I expected and was fine with her changing the price. She still was itchy. We won't be going back and hope you don't either.

Did not have a huge selection of the original transformers line. But they have a little bit of everything from old video game cartridges to vintage posters. We didn't look at the comic books. The cashier wasn't chatty but answered questions. Parking was a little tight as the lot is shared with all strip mall businesses. I would recommend this store if you are middle aged looking for nostalgia. Not a place to buy little kids toys. It's mainly for collectors.

The 4 stars are not for the stereotypical souvenir outpost that fronts Tom's Logging Camp. That's…read moreonly where you need to go to pay for a ticket to enter Tom's Logging Camp, the 4-star attraction here. Tom's Logging Camp ($5 per person) is a self guided walk on a trail behind the souvenir shop. It's a peek into what an actual logging camp was like, something I assure you I'd never once in my life thought of before visiting here. It's kind of a fun little stroll. You peer into or walk through cabins that have handwritten explanations of what you're seeing. The signs explain everything from the equipment the loggers used to the food they ate, to the jobs of the cooks and the blacksmiths. It was here that I learned that the Finnish workers, when they arrived on Duluth's North Shore, were the hardest workers but they'd work only in camps with saunas. Tom's Logging Camp erected a sauna, naturally, because Tom wanted Finnish workers. I also learned that loggers were filthy and drank heavily: * In the bunkhouse, a top bunk was in demand as the bugs crawling on you would fall downward, preying instead on the inhabitant of the lower bunk; and * A special cabin has been erected here to let visitors emulate the experience of being a drunk logger. Everything leading to and inside that cabin is askew and somehow, it had me chuckling exactly as I'd imagine a drunk logger might. Boy, did I learn a lot of useless interesting stuff here! As you walk the trail you can purchase food to feed trout then goats and finally, llamas. So come to Tom's Logging Camp to have the fun experience of a llama eating out of your hand, being a faux-drunk, and learning a bit about life in a Minnesota logging camp.

Your mom is going to be expecting your usual outpouring of affection and gratitude- and for that, Siiviis has your back. While their online store may not be the easiest to use or search, it's packed full of gorgeous art, cards, and prints. We spent a little while scrolling through their offerings and decided on two beautiful prints to send to the mamas- one in Kansas, and one in southeastern MN. We ordered super early, figuring that there'd be a delay, but no- I got a personalized email from the Siiviis crew the same day, letting me know that the prints would be going out way ahead of schedule. Way to make Amazon look like slackers, folks! Plus: they gift-wrapped them! For free! And they're a local business! Y'all, in a pandemic when everything feels hard, these folks went out of their way to make our mamas happy- and I trust they'll do the same for yours.

I checked Amazon, but didn't feel like paying their price or supporting them in our current situation. I did a Google search for used bookstores in Duluth since I was planning a trip there for some groceries. The name of this place is what first grabbed my attention. I'm so glad it did! Not only did they have a copy in stock, it was half the price of Amazon! I didn't get the name of the person who helped me out over the phone, but she was awesome. She let me pay over the phone, was super-friendly, and when I did the curbside pick up, gladly left it outside the door when I arrived. For an antisocial person like me, that's aces! I hope to someday make an appointment to go in and look around because I am itching to spend money in a store that has already impressed me without me even having walked in the door.
