I would want to add that it's 50/50 when it comes to how I am treated and the type of service I…read morewill receive. I get it, we all have bad or more challenging days. However, my last trip I was told flat out that certain clothes were too expensive for me. This has happened more than once. And let me be the judge of that. Then I was given unsolicited advice in how to mother my child. I also got judged when she learned my child was not potty trained. I have honestly tried avoiding conversations with the store owner because her judging me has been happening more often. I understand she also gets customers who do not stay on top of their kids and leave messes, but I have consistently had them pick up after themselves. She must have me mixed up with someone else who never does that. Or she takes one look at me and makes who preconceived judgment calls about me. Honestly, I am starting to look at other baby shops. I will travel up to 45 minutes versus the 3 minutes if I can avoid another uncomfortable conversation with her.

Review Visit: March 11th, 2015…read more Thankfully they don't sell defective Acme comics.... wait, that sounds familiar. Yep, another Acme Comics post for my blog. This one is fortunately still open and is no way related to the Acme Comics in Normal, IL (which has closed recently). I am bias towards this store as I have been here many times. This store is my first place to scope out used video games. They don't have a large selection of current generation stuff, but they do have a lot of 'retro' games. Think NES, SNES, N64, PS2, Gameboy and the like. Everything is moderately priced, if not sometimes lower/higher than market value. But it's a locally owned business, so I don't mind paying a few more dollars to support a great shop. Since their inventory shifts, there is usually always something new to see when I go in. Lately, I have been getting old GamePro, Nintendo Power, Tips & Tricks magazines for $2 a piece. Talk about a nostalgic trip. They offer a large selection of CDs but they seem to be shying away from those in the more recent years. I believe they also do have vinyl and music dvds as well. I used to purchase a large amount of cds back in the day when they had 4/$10. Still reaping the benefits of that today with a massive music collection. Moving on, this place is a Comic shop first and foremost. While they do sell other things, obviously, I am betting the comic book scene is the bulk of their customers. One of my friends alone has a massive pull list there. I don't know much about comics, but they offer a wall of new arrivals as well as your $0.50 comics. The staff can be a bit inattentive at times, but they never seem bothered when you ask them for help. All in all, a pretty great local shop.

Just moved here to Peoria & was so excited to see they had a nice Barnes and Nobles with the cafe &…read moreall our favorite treats. Two or 3 times a month I make a trip for magazines and at least 1 book, after hitting up this cafe a couple times I quickly realized they over cook most of the items at this cafe, I really wish they would fix this. Dried out cup cakes over cooked hard cookies, these little treats aren't cheap so It would be nice if they were prepared with care and they didn't serve over cooked goodies. So disappointing, one day I spent $25 in this cafe on chocolate cupcakes and some sugar cookies, was disappointed as soon as I heard the kids say these cookies are hard as a rock. Thinking this was a one off, I tried again a week later and same thing. I mentioned it to the cashier on our last visit, I hope they take the time to make some changes & not take the customers money for bakery items that aren't prepared properly and probably shouldn't be sold.

Absolutely fantastic. The saff is super nice, especially Alex. He is always courteous and helpful.read more

Since we were going to be in the area picking up an ipad, I figured I'd play my cards right, bat my eyelashes and score a quick side trip to one of my favorite stores, BABW. Inside the Peoria Mall, the store was dead at 8:30pm on a weeknight (closes at 9pm) which was perfect because we got the undivided attention of the staff and no pesky kids underfoot. Speaking of the staff's attention, it was generally appreciated that they didn't question why two twenty-somethings were there at all, let alone having as much fun as we were. I got the fennec fox, with a portion of the purchase going to the World Wildlife Fund, and a Cubs t-shirt for $36.

It's mostly Funko Pops now along the walls. Kinda disappointing. Now that all the streaming platforms are upping prices, I figured more people with be looking to buy back their physical copies of movies again, but they are mostly selling memorabilia now.
