I live in Seattle, WA and had been searching in vain for the perfect Christmas gift for my…read moreboyfriend. Then it dawned on me! He had been admiring a certain turtle fossil in a local rock shop for years. I was determined to buy it for him! I called right away. However, no one answered the phone. I called again and this time left a message on an answering machine. I explained how it was quite a drive so I needed to make sure they were open before I started on the 3 hour journey. I waited for two days and no one returned my call! Very frustrated I turned to the internet and this is when I found Stones & Bones. Stones & Bones had excellent pictures and a description of exactly what I was looking for. I called and they answered the phone on the second ring. I explained that I wanted to buy a certain fossil they had but that I needed it overnighted. Considering they are on the other side of the country and it was already 4:30PM their time, I thought for sure this was not going to be possible. The owner was friendly, courteous and helpful. He immediately packed the specimen (packed carefully beyond my expectations I might add!) and got it to a shipping facility. I am not kidding when I say that less than 12 hours later the package was delivered to my front door! The fossil was more beautiful than described. It was the perfect gift and it brought tears to my boyfriend's eyes when he opened it. Thank you Stones & Bones for the extra effort you put into this transaction!!

Barnes and Nobles has a bit of everything and you can usually find some good reads on sale. Doesn't seem to be a lot of employees working however if you find one they are quite helpful.

I told them that the weather that day was causing my body to hurt. So the next day I went to go pick up the playmat and left and the pictures shows what happened after I left. I was lied on by the owner's daughter who told them I had COVID WHEN I DIDN'T!!! They would not let me explain to them my situation and when I called them to try explain everything they said that if I was to call them again or come up there they would call the police on me! So I decided to give them a few years to calm down so we can talk reasonably. I called a few Saturdays ago and they said I'm still banned .

The shop is a bit difficult to find as it sits back away from Hwy 85 (Note to self: Not Interstate…read more85.) in the Riverdale Shopping Center. The first time going there you'll need to use a GPS system. I even needed it the second time. I'm betting I'll need it the third time as well. Any takers? If you suffer from MTS (Model Train Syndrome) then you have just met your best treatment centre. The shop is run by a man who calls himself Bob. We call him the train god. The only competition to him were the people at Trainmaster in Buford, which sadly has been crushed under the tender care of capitalism and the covid virus. May it rest in peace. Well, back to Bob. I think that might be an AKA, but don't ask him about that. He has the finest collection of HO Scale equipment and supplies I've seen in quite some time. Pretty much if you are going to find hard to find stuff Riverdale Station is the place for you. Due to his knowledge, he barely spoke to me but when he did I heard the voice of Moses. I'm part Jewish, get over it. I am renovating/repairing an Atheran 1940s all pot metal MOW crane, which I consider to be a gem. It actually does not have the manufacturer's name anywhere on it, but one look of it without the 'cab' of the crane and he knew all about it. The bogies, English for "trucks" in Yankish, were hanging from a hook that he retrieved within a minute. No waving of wands for this man, he needs no magic. So after borrowing a screw driver from him I took off the old bogies and put in their place two three axle (6 wheeled, two on each axle as that is the way we train people roll... Stop groaning. You were eager to hear that and don't blame me if it is lame. I'm nearing my poetry state of mind.) Then I borrowed his Kadee coupler gauge and lo and behold the couplers were matched with the Kadee gauge. Well, I missed one thing in this description, I also needed a new coupler for one end of the crane car. He asked me whiskered or the older brass sprung type. This is a test I thought. What should I pick? It could be the unmasking of my Guruship, much was on the line. I swiftly and boldly answered whiskered. There was a slight hint of a smile on his face, and he agreed that was the better choice. My status was secure. I think Bob has a wall in the back of his store where the honored are allowed, but as yet I've not met his requirements, where the honored are allowed to put up a picture of themselves with their favorite bit of equipment held in front of them. This at this point is only a rumour as I just made it up. So in summary, two visits and not one thing negative to say. There is a delightful cat who is the true owner of the store, as he has his own chair facing the front entrance. I think the cat gets to decide who is allowed in or not; not quite sure about that, but he was entranced by the smells of my cats and was very attentive to my every move I made. He is friendly, but I'd suggest not bringing in any dogs. We don't wish to offend, do we? Cheers.
