Hi there. Mr. Kinney was a terrific help to me in this shop and knew just where to locate the…read moreissues I needed for the exhibit the Art Association of Oswego is hosting this weekend. I've added the press release below and hope the comics community turns out and enjoys the show. What a great resource and fun place to shop! Thx again! Suzanne Gaffney Beason Former Marvel Comics Editor and Director of Editorial Scheduling for DC Comics For immediate release... On Saturday, August 12th from 7 to 9 pm a reception will be held for the opening of a new art exhibition at the Art Association of Oswego. The exhibition, by Suzanne Gaffney Beason, is titled My Life in Comics / My Life in Art. Part of the show is a display of Ms. Beason's personal collection of original drawings by well-known comic artists from her days at Marvel Comics, where she was assistant editor to high-profile comics such as Spider-Man and X-Men. Also on exhibit will be original prints and drawings from her current work as a graduate student in SUNY Oswego's Master of Arts program in Studio Arts. This includes both figurative work and highly abstract explorations of color, shape and texture. According to the Art Association's exhibition coordinator Bill DeMott, "As an undergraduate at SUNY Oswego in the 80's, Suzanne got a fantastic education, one that took her to New York City to work for the likes of Robert Blackburns' Printmaking Workshop NYC, Marvel Comics, Reader's Digest, Pearson Education and eventually DC Comics. But when DC moved to California, she made the brave decision to return to Oswego to pursue her first love, fine arts. Her current work is stunning and in her new art one can see all the knowledge gained from years of working with figures and bold abstractions. We welcome Suzanne and her husband Kirk to this community. Their energy and enthusiasm for art--and for music--are truly refreshing." The reception for this exhibition is free and open to the public. Refreshments will be served. The exhibition will run until Sunday, August 27th. Regular gallery hours are from 10 am to 1 pm on Saturdays and from 1 pm to 4 pm on Sundays or by appointment. Group tours can be arranged. The Art Association of Oswego is located at the northernmost end of East 4th Street in Oswego, directly across from historic Fort Ontario. The Art Association' galleries are housed in the Oswego Civic Arts Center along with the Frances Marion Brown Theater. The phone number for the AAO is 315 216-6782. Their website is www.oswegoart.org.

Michael has made this store into one of the cornerstones of the tabletop and comics scene, and apart from select stores in the Toronto area, you really won't find another place like this to get lost in for hours on end anywhere nearby, check it out when you get the chance!

The store had a big comic section. Next to this area was a variety of art books, D&D dungeon master guides, and various merch like Funko Pops and comic figurines. I was more interested in the TCG section with singles for MTG. Here they had a whole Ultimate Guard section which I have never seen before. They had a ton of great displays for TCG accessories and I saw some really cute Christmas themed Dragon Shield sleeves. It looked like they carried just about every other colour of Dragon Shields as well. The next part of the store was all about Warhammer. The back of the store had many tables set up and there were a few people playing Warhammer. The tables were pretty spaced out which made it easy to get around. While we were browsing some of the cards, an employee came over and offered to help. It really seemed like they were genuinely interested in what we were looking at since we all share the same hobby which made the whole experience feel comfortable.

This is a really fun and unique neighborhood comic shop. Although the selection of trade paperbacks…read moreis limited, expect to find many single issues. I would say this store is a must see for the casual collector. If you are looking for a rare back issue, this store is probably better suited than most for your goal. Figurines also seem to be sold with the collector in mind - Fourth Wall has one of the largest selections of pop figurines I've ever seen outside of a comic con. There are also so many odd random items tucked throughout the shop - while there, I saw a Hulk Hogan board game, a puzzle displaying meat, a variety of vhs tapes, stacks of used books... The inventory here is really unique and interesting. The stock on current issues seems a little limited, especially in Indies, but that is not unexpected in a relatively new shop. I found the staff to be welcoming and helpful without being intrusive. What makes this store really interesting is that it is already fitted to be a great community space. From the pinball at the door to the wide back issue selection to the gaming/tv/couch area in the back, 4th while invites you to hang out and stay awhile. It's a great place to bring the whole family to peruse while you pick up your monthly pull list. I look forward to seeing the store grow and find its niche over time.

My boyfriend loves to travel, so naturally, collecting different currencies from around the world…read morebecame a fun hobby of his. Earlier this week, we took a walk downtown and stopped by The Coin Hunter while we were there. To sum up, the store was well organized, the staff was helpful and the selection of coins blew my mind. When you enter, you will notice a multitude of sparkling coins on the wall displays and beneath the glass counters, along with collection books and limited edition mintage. However, my boyfriend was more interested in taking home a handful of British pounds (and this is where the "Hunter" in "The Coin Hunter" comes in). Lo and behold, four tin buckets full of imperfect copper and silver coins from all around the world. Two of these pails sat near the railing with a sign that read, "4 for $1." My boyfriend dug through this metallic mess for a set of British pounds until his hands were completely tarnished and equally happy with his finds. Thankfully, the store will provide you with disinfecting hand wipes, but I personally suggest bringing some disposable gloves if you intend on doing some major digging. During this experience, the owner of the shop was very approachable and conversant. As my boyfriend explored the buckets for treasure, I overheard the owner appraising some coins from Barbados, and his knowledge of basic rates and value of this foreign currency was quite impressive. If you decide to stop in sometime, know that street parking is available and free (and a spot or two out front is most likely up for grabs). I'm no coin expert, but The Coin Hunter is a well-kept hobby shop that I enjoyed perusing. Until next time!

What a great little toy store. Just like everything else in Kingston, this place has so much charm…read more The inside is beautiful. If toys are upscale, this is an upscale toy store. Not like the stuff you see in the aisles at Walmart. There are gorgeous books, educational toys and lots of fairytale/fantasy items, like hobby horses on sticks. My friend's daughter loves everything princess. They had a gorgeous rabbit princess dress in her size. It had flowers and rabbit ears on the headband and even a fluffy little tail on the back of the dress. She loved it. I also got her a cute picture book about dream animals. I would have loved this place when I was little! Oh, and they had these milk straws with flavour in the straw so that when you drink the milk it gets infused with that flavour. I think the one I got for her was Unicorn...something. Can't remember exactly but I had a giggle with her mom about them. So unique! If you need a special gift for an adorable child in your life, this is the place to go. The girl working behind the counter was so nice too! We had a great conversation about how she lived on the island and took the ferry to work. I really enjoyed shopping here! I'm going back to Kingston in October and will definitely stop in to grab another present for Izabela. I wish I'd taken pictures of the items, but I forgot and though I have one of Izabela in the dress, I wouldn't post a picture of a child anywhere online these days! Just take my word for it. It was gorgeous!

Overall the store offers more unique toys, I found the quantity was a bit small but when you really take the time to look through everything and take the time then it seems like there are more options. The staff was super friendly and helpful with questions and letting me know about receiving a free toy since we purchased a certain number of Farm Animals. Great place!
