First off I'll say there are 2 different types of comic book stores. The ones that are so sterile,…read moreclean and organized that you know there are no deals to be had or hidden gems to be found. There at also the stores that are so packed and disorganized that you couldn't find something to get a deal on if you wanted to. Rubber Chicken Comics perfectly straddles the middle ground of those 2 examples. There are loads of boxes with .50 cent comics, $1.00 comics & $5 comics that are regularly refilled and always have people digging through them. They also have an amazing selection of gently used $5 graphic novels. Besides the boxes that all deserve time to dig though they have a clearly marked and organized section of new weekly comics, a wall of recent back issues for on going series and organized bins of older back issues. Somehow this shop also gets the best "wall books" in the area! From huge key books to rare variants, complete sets to signed books, original art sketch covers to golden age back issues. The wall is ever changing with assorted rarities at amazing prices. In addition to the comics they also have action figures (new and old), statues, vintage toys and games and other assorted collectibles. They offer weekly subscription pull list service and allow you to change on a monthly basis and give a 10-20-% discount based on the number of books on your pull list. They have bags, boards, boxes and other supplies as well. I can't recommend this shop enough there is always a great conversation or debate going on and everyone is welcome from the most seasoned collector to the newest comic fan. There is some thing for everyone here! No intimidating clerks or judgmental "Comicbook guys". Check them out!!

My first thought... is it a wirthwhile drive from Barrington, RI? Normally, I would not make this…read moretrip because of the distance, and my own ignorance about framing shop in general. I am glad I took the trip, however. I came here with a friend to have a special frame made for her friend, whose mother passed away recently. This special gift has to be done with care and some artistic sense. It was a correct choice to come here, and not to generic franchise ones you find in a mall, staffed by underpaid and overworked teens. Not that I have anything against hardworking teens, for a special gift with lots of special memories must be handled by experienced people. When you walk in here, you are awestruck by the spaciousness and the open feel of an old building in a town center. Walls are covered by gorgeous examples of their framing work. Right next to the shop is an art gallery to showcase their work, along with the arts of local artists. I love the concept of combining the art gallery and the framing shop. A great synergy.

508 is a tiny gun shop in Walpole with easy parking out front. I've bought a couple of guns here…read more Despite the tiny space, they actually have a good selection of handguns, rifles and shotguns, and actually a quite interesting selection too. A more modest selection of ammo. They are owned and operated by a husband and wife, who seem to be the only employees. They are very friendly and willing to chat and show you guns. Although sometimes there are 3 or 4 customers at a time, so they have to flit back and forth. The wife usually handles the ATF Form 4473 paperwork (which is largely via a computer you use to enter your information). Prices aren't rock bottom, but I still recommend 508 because of their fine service. It is nice to finally find a gun shop where all the employees are happy to see and serve you.
