I did not want to deal with a parking lot full of frantic last-minute shoppers. Luckily, I absent-mindedly drove in the wrong direction, and thanks to muscle memory and the Yelp app remembered this location. Score! I was delighted to discover that there was tons of parking, and I was even more pleased to discover an excellent selection of business books--just what I was looking for. I immediately spotted a book that I had been eyeing for a while and snagged it, then perused the other titles until I found another book that I simply had to have. Making my purchase was easy as pie thanks to a highly efficient cashier person. I saved a good chunk thanks to being a member (a great investment if you live your books like I love mine). All in all? It was a most satisfying experience. Definitely check out this location if you're in the market for gifts, too--they have a great selection of books for varied interests, and you can always find something wonderful at a great price. Don't miss their magazine section, either--it's exceptional!

You are the classy neighbor, giving me just enough information about things I don't normally care about, just in case I'm ever in a situation where I need to sound cultured. You are the friendly neighbor because your articles always sound so nice. You have never taken on a negative tone with me, kind of like my real-life asshole neighbors. I don't even need to mention how reliable you are! And, most importantly, you are my nosy neighbor. Your crime reports are reason enough for me to live! I love knowing that I'm not the stupid person who let some strangers in, got tanked, passed out and then woke up to find her car missing.
