They had a large store with clearly labeled although crowded, aisles of comic, anime, cartoon, manga, clothing, and other items. This store is clearly a comic book lovers dream with a library of new and vintage ones that were for sale. They even had a basement area filled with comic books to purchase in bulk and video games to play. All in all, if you are looking for a specific comic book, manga merch, anime merch, Funko Pops and the like to add to your collection, this store is a must visit.

In "the City the Reads", not all bookstores are created equal and Normal's has been a unique…read moreliterary destination for longer than anybody. Most of the store is an impressive collection of second hand books, priced for the student/artist/ weirdo or budget minded (guess where I fit on, wrong, I graduated). I say "Impressive ", not only in size, but in usefulness. These aren't any old books on various topics, they are in above average condition and you can usually find exactly what you are looking for. Example: I'm researching seances and I'm looking for something Sir Arthur Conan Doyle wrote about the Spiritualist Movement. I ask Rupert, owner/operator/ all-around-decent-person, if he has anything on the topic and I am lead to a compendium of obscure occult articles, that actually has one of Doyle's articles printed in it. I'm amazed. He had a great book on pre-WW2 comics, a Kenneth Anger book I didn't have and some theatre books I will buy, the next time I visit. I'm saying, you need to practice restraint. Up front are a nice selection of new releases ( I bought a Candy Darling biography I had not heard of and a Plasmatics record, on blue vinyl, yes, they have an excellent selection of records, too). Normal's is definitely a bookstore you can spend several hours browsing or ask for a recommendation, and go home with a treasure.

You'll find rarities and original print classics here, so that's why you should come to El Suprimo. There are other shops in Fells Point where you can get new releases and reissues, which are great of course, but this is my preferred record shopping experience. Based on that, I love this place. The record shop is within short walking distance of the water taxi. It's close to the corner of Aliceanna and South Broadway. It's also across the street from Cafe Latte'da, where you can get a coffee to caffeine up before looking through records. The store is located in the lower level of the building, so you take a few steps down to enter. It's a small space, but it's packed with records and there are things to look at all over the place. Don't forget to look down because there are also crates on the floor to look through, too. Every time I've gone there, I've seen the same guy, who really knows his music and what's in the store. My boyfriend and he talked about pre-war Memphis blues music once while I found a super-cheaply priced copy of David Johansen's Live It Up in good condition (I was all excited). Anyway, this is a great shop. Only one thing for those with allergies - consider taking a hit of fexofenadine/pseudoephedrine a.k.a. Allegra-D before you go in (that's what I do) - it handles used records and can be a little dusty. Happy record shopping!

I grabbed some food during my visit, the Eno, which consists of vegan nuggets, buffalo sauce, spinach and tomato. It was fine. Record collection left a bit to be desired. I expected it to be bigger. I thought it was more of a record store with a coffee shop inside. Definitely the reverse of that. A coffee shop that sells records. Definitely will return, just to experience that Oat Horchata again.
