My coworker dumped the task of getting a house wired up for a 3-day hybrid meeting on me the week…read morebefore a 9am Monday morning start -- which meant a Sunday setup with hardly any notice. I reached out to a few places, but Canal Sound & Light were the only ones who could do it. That was my lucky break. Saturday before the event, the venue calls to say their HVAC system is busted and they need to move us to a different location down the street. Canal Sound & Light were awesome throughout. Even though I'd never organized a meeting like this, they identified what we needed, gave us a reasonable quote for it, made themselves available for setup and teardown before/after the event, and even adjusted the equipment rental and pricing on the fly when they realized we didn't need a TV because the new venue had one in place already. Everyone was super nice, clearly knew what they were doing, and yet never talked down to me. And the sound was so good, the remote participants could hear us better than we could hear each other in the room. @_@ The event was August 2022, but I realized I never wrote a review. They totally deserve 5 stars. I hope they never go out of business.

They have an amazing selection of vinyl and a small stock of cool vintage tees as well. So, with all this great stuff, why only four stars? Well, the prices for vinyl and the tees are just fully top dollar. If they were a little bit more reasonable I would want to throw up six freaking stars.

How have I not reviewed them yet? Tbf I don't think I've reviewed many bookstores (which I need to…read morefiiiiix). One of my favorites, though! Love the curated sections like the one with BAM-recommended titles. They also bring new releases in at lightning speed. A few weeks ago, I came for Richard Scarry-themed Inciardi prints and a new book but stayed for the quaint yet busy atmosphere where turning every corner feels like uncovering a hidden literary world. The kids area in the back is ADORABLE and features a little reading cave. In love with the cookbooks and architectural books around there, too. Their website notes upcoming literary events and is well-organized; full of fun BAM-themed merchandise. Open 10AM - 6PM *daily* -- support local!

Note: This review is only for the actual Cinema Classics store at 7th Avenue South…read more So, I was walking around the WV one day, and I passed by this store. It was closed for the night, but I vowed to remember to go back. It looked like my wet dream: classic old movies collected into one small store for my browsing and ecstasy. So, I went back weeks later. The cutest thing about this place is one person works there, and she actually has a sign that says, "Be back in 5 minutes" if she steps out to get coffee or use the restroom or grab lunch or whatnot. That's just cool. I love that carefree attitude when it comes to shops, it's so not stiff and whimsical. Anywho, as to the actual selection, it's solid if not out of this world. The problem with the store I feel is that it'll go out of business because there's too much competition around, and it doesn't help that a lot of old movies aren't on DVD yet, and more hard to find stuff from say, Bogart's catalog (all those actors were under contract and many of them did so many movies that most people haven't seen, they may have sucked but they exist). However, the great thing about the place is that for old movie lovers, to browse by director or actor or genre without all the fluff of crap that usually circulates a place like Kim's or the now not-there Tower, or Virgin, or whatever, it's an easy stop to make. In conjunction they press and present all sorts of film night type stuff in the city. The prices were about on par with any other store, which is expensive to say the least. But if I have a real urge and I'm in there area, I don't mind shelling out a couple extra clams at this place.

I tried to order a blu ray but was partially refunded and told they couldn't understand what I was…read morethinking. I was thinking wow what a great price after googling title of film blu ray and the cinima classics store came up only a few links down. So i added it my cart, considered a few other titles and then checked out. None of the movies I looked at on the website said anything about whether the blu rays were in print of not. Days later i was sent a partial refund and told that I said I read and agreed to the fact that if I have never purchased from them before I must buy at least one in print title or my order would be cancelled. They then gloated about how I wouldn't find as good a price anywhere else and that they didn't know what I was thinking. So I responded that I felt that their email was kinda rude but I would order a second blu ray if I needed to but it was mot obvious that I was supposed to do that, nor was it obvious what was in or not in print. Alas when I went to the website the product was gone. I emailed to ask about it and they said they assumed I didn't want it anymore because I said they were rude. Didn't even read the whole email. If they are the type to reply to reviews I suspect they come at me with some nonsense here because clearly they can never be in the wrong.
