I have no problem paying MSRP for a product at a local store, but they were charging ABOVE MSRP! I thought it may have been an error, so I checked a few more games and ALL were above MSRP! I asked the clerk behind the register about it and there was no real explanation given - he simply said he'd call the 'owner' and see why. Of course, there was no answer and no explanation. And, there was no sale! I like supporting local game stores, but charging above MSRP is a non-starter for me. No way I'll ever set foot in their stores again.

I have been using Shiela's for about 2 years now for all of my jewelry needs and I will never go…read moreanywhere else. Shiela and Mike (owners) have been in the jewelry business for many years and are very knowledgeable about diamonds, gold, gemstones, etc. They are very fair in price for what you get, not only for repairs and appraisals but for sales. And they are also just great people: Very accommodating, courteous, professional, knowledgeable and treat each customer with value. If you need something ordered, even a rare diamond, they can do that, and their price will be lower than anybody else's, I can tell you that.

I always kept up with the cleanings for the warranty. Within the last 3 years I have had it repaired 4 times by Kay's and every time I got it back I would either lose the same stone or another one would come out, to the point where they said my warranty was voided and I was paying out of pocket for the repairs. The last time I had worn it one day after they had fixed it at Kays and another stone fell out....so frustrated. My husband after that refused to get it fixed anymore and I thought this might be hopeless. I really love this ring so I decided maybe it's not me maybe it's just not getting fixed right. And what do you know I was right! The gentleman at Mid Continental Gems said that whoever I had taken it to before did not fix the post right for the diamond to stay in place. I did not tell him where I had gotten it fixed at but he will know now because of this review. The amazing thing is I paid over $125 dollars each time at Kays to have it repaired and he only charged me $31.00 Wow!!! I will never go anywhere else so if you want your jewelry repaired right at a honest fair cost this is the place to go. I also will be back because they have some really nice pieces on display that will make nice gifts for my loved ones

While the location might not scream traditional ART GALLERY, it's location provides easy access, ample and convenient parking and a good coffee shop next door. The gallery itself is nice, bright and open, with plenty of room for mingling and wandering between pieces. Everything is clean and new. There are comfortable benches to stop and sit and contemplate the art works. There is also a small retail area along the side with small works of art for sale, like cards and journals. Nadia, the owner, is friendly and welcoming. I look forward to seeing more shows in this space.

Not sure how to rate this place. It seems really cool, at least like they have really cool pop up…read moreevents but at the same time they seem really standoffish.. Let me clarify and justify this statement. You own a building in Riverwest and you take care of said building by doing all the things to help improve the overall look of the place but you don't really seem to reach out to the neighborhood as whole. There in lies the problem. What I've seen from the Ski Club, such as the RW24 event as a pop up spot and the place was ungodly packed, was really cool. Every time I walk by, actually I live on the same block and see what is done over here constantly. Pop up show after pop up show with all different art setups. So far so good but as I said you live in the neighborhood, reach out to the neighborhood, especially your immediate neighbors. Maybe though they're just to good for people like me... This is what get's this place a 3 star review, barely...
