    Review Visit: March 11th, 2015…read more Thankfully they don't sell defective Acme comics.... wait, that sounds familiar. Yep, another Acme Comics post for my blog. This one is fortunately still open and is no way related to the Acme Comics in Normal, IL (which has closed recently). I am bias towards this store as I have been here many times. This store is my first place to scope out used video games. They don't have a large selection of current generation stuff, but they do have a lot of 'retro' games. Think NES, SNES, N64, PS2, Gameboy and the like. Everything is moderately priced, if not sometimes lower/higher than market value. But it's a locally owned business, so I don't mind paying a few more dollars to support a great shop. Since their inventory shifts, there is usually always something new to see when I go in. Lately, I have been getting old GamePro, Nintendo Power, Tips & Tricks magazines for $2 a piece. Talk about a nostalgic trip. They offer a large selection of CDs but they seem to be shying away from those in the more recent years. I believe they also do have vinyl and music dvds as well. I used to purchase a large amount of cds back in the day when they had 4/$10. Still reaping the benefits of that today with a massive music collection. Moving on, this place is a Comic shop first and foremost. While they do sell other things, obviously, I am betting the comic book scene is the bulk of their customers. One of my friends alone has a massive pull list there. I don't know much about comics, but they offer a wall of new arrivals as well as your $0.50 comics. The staff can be a bit inattentive at times, but they never seem bothered when you ask them for help. All in all, a pretty great local shop.

    Just moved here to Peoria & was so excited to see they had a nice Barnes and Nobles with the cafe &…read moreall our favorite treats. Two or 3 times a month I make a trip for magazines and at least 1 book, after hitting up this cafe a couple times I quickly realized they over cook most of the items at this cafe, I really wish they would fix this. Dried out cup cakes over cooked hard cookies, these little treats aren't cheap so It would be nice if they were prepared with care and they didn't serve over cooked goodies. So disappointing, one day I spent $25 in this cafe on chocolate cupcakes and some sugar cookies, was disappointed as soon as I heard the kids say these cookies are hard as a rock. Thinking this was a one off, I tried again a week later and same thing. I mentioned it to the cashier on our last visit, I hope they take the time to make some changes & not take the customers money for bakery items that aren't prepared properly and probably shouldn't be sold.

    This location was very helpful. They didn't try and lie to my face when I would ask if something…read morewas in stock. They would actually pull it on the computer, tell how many the store has in stock and helped me find what I was looking for instead of lying about it, saying they had no in stock, and asking if they could pre-order me something different for next time Instead. The Fairview Height, IL can't even compete with how great this store location! Great customer service!

    Beautifully laid out bookstore hosting a forward thinking selection of charged topics, mostly…read morebiased in a predictable direction, what we expected; the main room clean and inviting for the open mind. Got myself tickled surprised stumbling upon a new comic book styled adaptation of The Hobbit, didn't purchase, now I regret even for a pricer new edition. Very much there had been more celebration of literature's full magic, iconic authors, celebrated series, unique publishers, instead of just a couple main topics. Noticed the solo staff quietly holding down the side room at the back corner checkout, oddly not near the entry. The second oddity was a bewildering array of invisible god replacements: fortune telling, card reading, and general assortment of materials bent on using the star charts and crystal as religion. Always amusing to see attempts made to replace a simple prayer and book based church, that's remained unaltered for four thousand years, the endless chaos of frantic scrabbling at palm lines, tea leaves, and incense doesn't go along with the rest of the progressive socially cared for collection here. However I understand how quickly the mind starts to make up its own sense of self with the easiest options at hand not necessarily the ones that will last or prove worthwhile.

    Lit on Fire Books is hands-down my favorite bookstore in Peoria! It's a hidden gem of a place with…read morean amazing collection of books that always seems to have exactly what I need -- or introduces me to something I didn't know I needed. The selection is wonderfully curated, and the store has a welcoming vibe that makes you want to stay for hours. The owner is absolutely fantastic--knowledgeable, friendly, and incredibly accommodating.
