So I am happy to have stumbled upon this. Inside the store, I was pleased to find an organized space with everything a teacher, parent, or caregiver might need. I will definitely keep this place in mind when needs activities for a rainy day or even for future birthday gifts.

My daughter dragged me along today to shop here. Now that she's teaching high school in the…read moreCharlotte school district, she needs supplies. The three crates of supplies she brought with her from her previous teaching position wasn't enough. Now she needs more. Lakeshore is the "Walmart" of teaching supplies. Papers and borders and books and science experiments for just about every grade of teaching from Pre-K to 12th and for just about every subject from American history to geology. It's "back to school week" and they had a 40% sale on just about everything in the store. It was packed with teachers just like my daughter, picking up supplies. Friendly, well stocked and tidy. Just really busy! [Review 11645 overall, 1426 of 2019.]

There are few places that really feed my soul and this, by far, is one of my favorites! The…read moreatmosphere of HIVE is, cleansing...healing even. I was in the other day and heard conversations between people that I've only dreamed of. The owner is one of the most kind and authentic people I've ever met, not to mention she's a beekeeper and upstanding member of our community. I have yet to take one of the art classes, or meditation classes or host of other classes they offer but that's on my short list of things to do. Here's HIVE. (Where amazing people swarm :) ) Hive is a stationary and gift shop but they also have classes, art collectives, moments of great conversation and one of the coolest atmosphere's in Gastonia. My husband has quickly learned, that any gift for me purchased from Hive is a great idea. He went in last September for an anniversary gift and received the best service from Merryman (owner). You can find all sorts of cool stuff in here and the items are constantly changing. Soaps, books, cards, hand-stamped stationary and custom stationary if you're so inclined. If you're looking for wedding invitations, this is your place. Local honey...it's here too. One of the amazing things I also love about this place, are the window displays. Detailed and beautiful enough to give NYC a run for their money. You must visit, it's AMAZING!! #savethebees

But for the past two years, it's been getting worse and worse. Then I searched Paper Skyscraper on Reddit, and it sounds like they have a new owner - Bill Godwin. Sound like he's just a terrible person. I'm not sure if he has any experience in running a store, but now he definitely has experince in running a store into the ground. Check out the reddit page. Just Google Paper Skyscraper + Reddit. I sounds like anyone that worked there before he got there has either quit or been fired. And, as it turns out, he's bad at hiring too. What a mess. R.I.P. Paper Skyscraper. You are missed.

Every shelf is stocked with a huge selection of novels, games, toys (alot of learning toys great for younger childred) and board games. If you're a D&D/Pathfinder player the prices are a little high but not unreasonable for some of their books, and they do have some of the harder to find items (clear dice for those of you who like your rolls fair). There are better coffee shops out there than the one inside, but I like the charm of the little place. They're reasonable in price and the coffee and tea is really good. The fact is, while Barns and Noble has no presence in Gastonia, Books-A-Million is here, and often busy. In a time when bookstores are shutting down this is one store I don't see going anywhere.

Not a Fan of the Service Here…read more I'm not sure what's going on, but the "manager" Gabriel needs to work on his people skills. Walked in looking for a specific book, and he practically barked at me to ask what I wanted. Not exactly the welcoming atmosphere I'd expect from a bookstore. He didn't even bother to help me find the book I was looking for, just grunted and pointed me in the general direction of the shelves. Definitely won't be back. 0/5 stars from me.

I was looking for a specific toy so went on their website to look at the virtual tour and it showed they had it so I drove there to buy it, but couldn't find it. When I asked they said it was outdated. It would be super helpful to let people know the virtual tour online is indeed outdated to save people the trip. Overall a good store for a variety of toys, but the website does need an update.
