About 4 months ago I came into Chimera looking for gifts for an actor from this Canadian TV show…read morethat has since gotten a whole new following, Trailer Park Boys. I knew that he was a big Superman fan and I asked for help in getting him some Superman comics he might like, and I chose some that took on new ways of telling the origins of The Man of Steel. The three actors behind the roles they play on Trailer Park Boys, Mike Smith, John Paul Tremblay and Robb Wells also have a website called Swearnet. Each week they have a mailbag segment where they open up gifts from their fans around the world, and my gift was on that segment yesterday (111/01/2016). All three of them loved the gift I sent them (candy, popcorn, things from Buddy Guy's Legend Nightclub), but Robb really loved the Superman comics I gave him (among which were The Death of Superman graphic novel, and Superman: American Alien, I think that was the name of the title, and all first issues), and his reaction, as well as the overall reaction from the three warmed my heart and my day got a million percent better after seeing them open up their gifts. Thank you so much for all your help! I know I will definitely be back for more comics for myself and (maybe) my crush Robb.

Although hubby wasn't happy because he couldn't make it to the Beverly Record Shop since it was on the opposite direction from the Original Rainbow Cone, I sort of made it up for him with the discovery of "Bookie's," a new and used bookstore next to the 7-11 convenient store, near W. 103rd. and S. Western Ave. The guy who greeted us, whom I assumed as the owner, was very nice. We told him that we came from the north side and found this place via Yelp. Apparently, they welcome used-book donations. By doing so you can get a discount on your purchase. Hubby got excited when he saw a sign saying "Irish books" in Irish, with an arrow pointing to a particular shelf. Well, there wasn't a single book written in Irish, yet he found a book he liked talking about Ireland. If you know someone who is preparing for ACT, SAT, or other entrance examinations (GRE, GMAT, or LSAT), many study aids are available for sale. It's a cute family-owned bookstore. If you happen to be in the area, stop by, relax and unwind, and grab a book or two with you on the road!

This comic shop has a nice website and offered a comic that I have been looking for, so I ordered a…read morefew comics from them. That was on July 1st. My order was confirmed and my money taken. I requested for the order to be shipped, but it was flagged for pickup. Since I live in another state, this posed a challenge. But since I know a few people in Oak Park, I figured worse case I could ask them to pick up the books for me. By mid-July, I had not received notice that the comics were available for pickup or shipped, so I sent an email to the business to inquire about the order and waited 10 days before I received a response telling me that they had just relocated the store and that many items were placed in storage, but that he would check on the availability of the books or refund me. Another 3 weeks have gone by and I have yet to receive a response about my order nor have I received a refund. The owner just seems lazy and there seems to be no effort to take care of online customers. Long story short, buyers beware! I really want to support small businesses, but not ones that take advantage of customers by taking their money and not delivering paid for orders.

It's tough to review a place like an antique store that has everchanging stock. What they might not…read morehave today, they could have tomorrow. So that said, there are two things that are reviewable at such a store; people and presentation. Forest Park Emporium did well on both points. I went there looking for a handbell and found one after maybe ten minutes. But the guy who was overseeing the store kept looking and actually found one that was more suitable for my needs. As for presentation, I strolled through most of the "booths" there and they were all pretty clean and in good order. Much easier to shop and look for things in a store like this. This was my 2nd or 3rd visit and I'll be back again I'm sure!
