I attended a League Cup as a player on December 7th, 2025. During one of the rounds, I witnessed…read morethe following incident between two players, I will refer to here as Player 1 and Player 2. Player 1, who was new to completive play, shuffled his deck after a deck search, but did not offer it to Player to for a cut before drawing from a card effect. Player 2 called a judge after this happened. After reviewing the situation, the judge issued Player 1 a warning for failing to present the deck for a cut. Following this ruling, Player 2 became visibly upset and began using profanity and getting very angry, where I was feeling unsafe. Player 1 attempting to deescalate the situation responded, "you don't have to rule shark me over it." Player 2 then escalated the situation by saying, " meet me outside and see what F***ing happens" along with other curses and violent threats. The head judge, Alan, attempted to disqualify both players, despite Player 1 being the target of the threats. Player 2 left the venue. Player 1 stated he would contact the police regarding the threats if he was disqualified, the judges allowed Player 1 to stay and finish the tournament, where he placed second. During the tournament, Judge Alan proceeded to act unprofessionally towards Player 1, and threw prize packs aggressively at him at the end of the rounds. After the event concluded, the judges informed Player 1 that he was banned from future tournaments at that store. Based on what I witnessed, and as an active member in the community and pokemon professor, I believe this decision was unfair, as Player 1 did not instigate the confrontation and was subjected to direct threats from Player 2. This store and the judges have a very bad reputation in the area, being unfair to new players and unsafe for women to play. The judges have also made fun of the community calling them "autistics". I strongly believe that they should not be in good standings with the Pokemon Play Community and should not be a sanctioned store.

This gaming store is located on Main Street in downtown East Stroudsberg. With Spider-Man and a…read moresmiling Pikachu beckoning from the main window display, it's hard not to walk in and check it out. Inside the store, the first area to greet you is board games, with options for different game styles and interests available. Pretty ok selection for reasonable prices. Towards the middle of the store is the cash register area on the right with collectors' "weapons" displays overhead for safe keeping and display. To the left is a section with American DC/Marvel comics and a small shelf of manga. Further back is a smaller, more specific modeling and other comic related section, followed by open tables in the back for Magic and other card games. Terrific idea to incorporate tables for player interaction and provide a space for gamers to enjoy games in person. In the very back is an e-sports area with consoles and computers set up. When I visited, these weren't in use, but good idea for non-covid times. I also noticed signs posted up for special game nights on certain days a week, for example one sign listed a Pokémon weekly game night. Covid-related: staff wore masks as did most of the patrons. There is a sign on the door requesting customers to wear face coverings. There did not seem to be a limit on # of people in the store, and when I was there on a Saturday early afternoon there was probably around 10 people in the front section of the store and about a dozen seated in the game-play area in the back.

The owner is elderly and can be gruff but was nice to me today and answered my questions. I did ask about a bathroom because I missed the sign behind him saying no public restrooms. He advised to go to the bar next door and they'll let you use theirs without making a purchase. They have lots of new and old here and even some leather-bound books. I found the prices to be ok. Ended up purchasing an Anthony Bourdain chef follow up to Kitchen Confidential.

You may get disappointed when you find out your " rare and highly collectible " book isn't going to fetch the amount you dreamed of. Just because someone on eBay is asking a high price doesn't mean they will get it. If you think your book is so valuable sell it yourself on eBay, and good luck to you. Unfortunately I no longer live in Pennsylvania, but when passing through on interstate 80 I always take the opportunity to visit and grab a few books. Prices are fair, not free. I'm not sure where the cat went. I'm afraid to ask. He was definitely the prince of Main Street. When my father passed I called and spoke with Lisa, we set up an appointment date and time. I brought in boxes and boxes of books. She explained to me what books had a resale value and what books did not. I did not receive the amount that she was going to sell them for. I understand the need to cover rent, utilities, cat food, etc. Any books left over I could donate to various charities. Overall, a great store. Highly recommend.

We stopped at the Peter's Valley craft gallery today (10/16/2016), and there was an absolutely…read moreamazing exhibit of fiber art in the Sally D. Francisco Gallery upstairs above the craft store: see http://www.petersvalleygallery.org/artist/current-exhibition-artists The photos that you see online don't do it justice--it really is worth seeing in person if you are interested in fiber art. The exhibit will be up throughl November 6, 2106. =================== original review from March 2016 ===================== Make no mistake - the Peters Valley Craft Store and Gallery sells fine contemporary crafts, not 'cutesy, craftsy' crafts. They have a range of items, often made by artisans with ties to the non-profit crafts school with which they are associated. Sales at the store benefit that non-profit, but if you buy something there it won't feel like an act of charity; you'll be purchasing unique, high-quality handmade items. The store is in a renovated building within the Delaware Water Gap National Recreation area, in the northwest corner of NJ. It's a beautiful place for a weekend drive any time of the year, but the store's hours are limited in winter. There's more activity (and therefore more shopping hours) in spring, summer, and fall. In December they're open every day. Parking is very limited--there are 3 or 4 parking spots next to the building, and a few more across the street (which is where the rest rooms are). On weekends when something else is going on in the area, it can be a bit hard to park. But it's worth waiting for a spot, or parking somewhere nearby and walking (if you can find space nearby--I'm not sure about street parking within the recreation area). The main level is the store, which has an assortment of ceramics, glass, jewelry, wearables, photography, wooden items, metalwork, candles, and some printed cards. The goods are not cheap, but for handmade fine crafts, they're not exorbitant. Each item is labelled with the name of the craftsperson who made it. I've bought jewelry there (for myself and as a gift), and I've bought Christmas ornaments as gifts. A friend of my winds up buying hand-made pottery every single time he stops there--I don't think he has EVER walked out empty-handed. Upstairs is a gallery that has curated exhibits of fine crafts, which change seasonally and are also for sale. Once a year Peters Valley holds an outdoor juried craft market in the fall. It used to be held near the store, but it has outgrown that space and now it's held at the Sussex County Fairgrounds in Augusta, NJ. Check out https://www.petersvalley.org/html/annual_fall_craft_fair.cfm for info on the annual craft fair. And if you're in northwest NJ, check out the Peters Valley Craft Store--it's definitely worth stopping there.
