I must add something to her Yelp site... "buy some paint, architectural miniature trees, postcards with excellent gentle advice and make a friend." Note: I'm a senior (though with chartreuse hair) and in a Walker... being on a limited traveling budget, I still was shopping so the advice given by the owner Hilary was a gift plus she was patient and kind. She knew PAINT and brushes and.... her merchandise.

It's pretty popular with kids, which is fine except some adults just stand around in aisles talking to other parents, while their kids paint which makes it difficult to get more paints, water, etc. Seen this happen more than a few times.

Cute and fun! Went…read morewith a few friends for the first time (4 in total) and liked my experience overall. We went on a Saturday so it was pretty busy and couldn't be seated at first but we put our name down for a reservation and came back a couple of hours later and it wasn't a problem. There were some cute piece options with different price ranges (around $20 overall if you get the cheapest options) and plenty of colors. Was a little loud at times but still a cathartic activity and fun with friends. I painted a pink monkey with a bow on its head and heart on the tail

I know some people have thought the owner was a bit abrupt, but she really isn't. She's German and though her English is fantastic (she's lived in the US for years and years), she sounds very direct and to the point. Don't confuse cultural expression with rudeness. She's kind, incredibly helpful, and this place is a labor of love for her. I travel a lot, including internationally, and I still think this is one of the best local wool shops I go to. I go back every time I'm in town.

If you find yourself stranded and not into Big Ten sports? Where do you go in such a place? Trust me, walk through the door of Cinema Gallery and you will find yourself in some other realm. There are many more colors than just Orange and Blue, especially if you catch some of the glass pieces casting rainbows during the day. Some say culture traveled between New Orleans and Chicago and moved as fast as it could between the two cities once. Something must have fallen from the train and it stuck around Cinema Gallery. It is nothing short of gorgeous.
