Welcome to Hobart's geek heaven…read more Area 52 is the place for geeks of all sizes and shapes, hosting an amazing collection of books, comics, card games and board games of all shapes and sizes, puzzles, collectables, you name it! And if you can't see it on the shelves, the lovely staff can likely order it in for you. All of the above is on the first floor, and if you dare to venture up the stairs there's a plethora of gaming tables to take your Area 52 relationship further. They host regular games days (usually on Saturdays) for you to try before you buy, so to speak (or just have a fun day surrounded by those of your ilk). For Christmas last year I was given a gift voucher for Area 52 (my boss knows me well) but I almost couldn't trade it in because the voucher itself was awesome, a little square silver token with a good amount of weight to it. I recommend. (I also recommend trading them in for awesome things; I walked away with a couple of excellent games and a stack of sale books. Yay!)

Everything in the store is curated well and chosen for their style exactly. This high-ceilinged space is perfect for a spot of home inspiration, if not shopping.

And make sure you spare some time, as you could spend an hour in here trying on all the beautiful options. RR specialises in resin jewellery. So the question becomes, how does RR compare to Dinosaur Designs? Very well in my opinion: equivalent in creativity, exceeds in choice and is far less expensive.

They succeed in this mission and you'll find yourself in their poky shop where all visible sunlight has been replaced with bright yellow signs. I'm sure some kind of psychology testing has gone into this, and bright yellow must make you feel like you're getting some kind of bargain. This is actually a relatively large store despite the cramped feel, and they seem to have a good range. Their staff are also genuinely nice and provide assistance when it's clear you need some. Entrance from the Cat & Fiddle Arcade, or down some stairs at Collins street level.

Myer Hobart, formerly the historic Brownells store on Liverpool Street, has been a central retail…read morehub for decades since its acquisition by Myer in 1959. After a devastating fire destroyed the original building in 2007, the store underwent a major reconstruction, reopening in 2015 as a modern, multi-level facility in the heart of the CBD. While department stores a bit of a dying breed in the USA, they're still around in the cities I visited in Australia. Hobart was no exception as I took a stroll through the multiple floors of the Myer Department Store during a recent visit. The placement of the escalators was a little confusing, but I did find as I took the elevator to the top and walked down. I was looking for stationary, travel things, and maybe a nice shirt. Store staff were well dressed and professional. Decor-wise, things seemed a little plain, albeit functional, clean, well stocked, and easy to maneuver.

I visited Myer Hobart today to collect a package for our grandchildren. I received it promptly and…read morein good order and went to leave the shop. Of my own fault, I tripped over my own feet and planted my face on the floor. The floor staff raced to my aid and made me comfortable as my nose streamed blood like a fountain. Their first aid officer Kelly was with me in moments, made me safe and handled the situation with calm and professionalism. They called the Tas Ambulance officers straight away, who examined me carefully and passed me to go home. Everyone was so kind and helpful, and I can't thank them enough. Well done, Myers, for good training and fast response and well done Kelly and the team for a challenging morning, handled like pros! Just a postscript: the other Paul C. who pops up on this review site (August 22, 2020) is not me! His comment about young, giggly uni students was not my experience at all. God bless 'em, I say!

Quite simply there A LOT…read moreof books here of every topic you can dream of : Australia, Horror, fiction... and random stacks here and there with all sorts of interesting odds and ends in them. Many are used, some are new but if you ask Richard, he'll give you honest answers about books and if he doesn't have it they can order it for you. There are some real treasures tucked away here! You could easily spend all day flipping through pages. Honestly the only other bookstore better is in Portland, Oregon, and it takes up nearly a city block. Follow them on the socials for some interesting insights! A must visit for anyone who likes to read.

C&S may be small but you can still get lost in amongst the shelves. I don't recommend following them on Facebook, because then when they advertise new books in on there you may snatch up the ones I want before I get a chance to do so.
