Full five-star indy bookstore "experience" on multiple fronts. First, a curated collection,…read morecomplete with pretty decent mini-reviews from staff on a lot of fronts. Nice local section and a good variety of reader's selections. Some cute sidelines, ranging from the Cheap Art for Homeless Cats to the Secular Saints Candles. And the toy section in the lower store is fun - not a huge toy store but a lot of quality little things. The children's section is nice, not huge but not tiny either. There's a bathroom (always a plus for a bookstore) and plenty of spots to sit down for a bit (yay! we can browse longer that way!) There's also a nice tree mural stretching up to the third floor that's worth a stop to see. The "Music and DVD" sections are declining to the point of non-existence, though, and I suspect will be out sooner than later given the decline in physical media for music and video. Prices are indy retail, but that's what you pay in exchange for having a nice browsing experience. Worth a side trip if you're in the area and are a bookerish person.

If mine were well behaved enough I'd bring him over.... But the wood is beautiful, the books are beautiful, and some even have discount stickers on them.

I tend to look for Rock/pop & jazz but there are some other well stocked genres. One big difference here are the holy grails. You know, the "I have been looking for a while and I know it's not going to be cheap, but I gotta have it, records." I'd say you'll see more here than other stores and the pricing is fair. Online you'll often find the grails but the sellers are looking to retire off the sale where as here you'll pay a price that you'll feel good about. Overall you'll find a well curated collection of vintage vinyl. Enjoy.

Game Depot is the local hub for culture records. They have all sorts of niche paraphernalia from…read morethe 50s onward, with a focus on console games and media. Here's the thing, though: museums like to place very-well-known cultural artifacts wide out in the open and secured, so anybody knows it's worth it. But that won't happen to you in a cultural goldmine in Game Depot, and that's because you have to know who wants what, and that means knowing the local community. While I was there, the proprietor, Chris, spoke to all sorts of locals about games they might be interested in, other games soon to come in or that just left, and other materials like a Spongebob CRT TV. (That's how you know I'm not making this up. *lol* ) You're likely here to sell or buy, not to know what makes this place tick. There's a lot of dense shelves of media that cover all sorts of video game consoles and video media players. From what I know, Christopher offers a professional standard rate on cash purchases: Half the rate he can sell it at. I think I understand, because where he's at must have plenty of people stopping by for media in the local industry. In other words--this place needs to be a local landmark ASAP so the local historians know where to go for the next generations of culture curators and historians.

Along with plenty of newest releases on DVD and many older titles on disc , you will find, countless movies from the 80s and 90s that never made it onto DVD. You won't find these videos on a streaming service. So many good films in any category you want. Drama, comedy, action, Horror, Sci- Fi foreign independent. Make sure you have a VHS VCR to view these wonderful movies you can't get anywhere else. Don't have a VCR you can easily find one at Salvation Army or thrift store for 5 bucks.

I've learned some very interesting things related to the movie industry and different actors and actresses talking with Steve. Definitely make a trip to the store If you are in the surrounding area you'll love discovering film's new and old . Even make a trip if you're not in the local area it's a real unique experience.

The store was packed with a ton of different records and it was nice to take some time to look through a ton of different genres. The quality of the merchandise was great, but a lot of the items were a bit overpriced in comparison to some other record store we have been to. Overall, not a bad shop! This is definitely a place to stop in at if you are looking to pic up some vintage records. They also have a ton of different items to support local bands.

They have boxes of dollar deals - which is much better than shopping with arrogant hop-head mall rats at Best Buy or digging for stuff at the local yard sale. It is a really, really neat diamond in the rough. CDs are all clean and intact. Vinyls are in superior shape. Review: (I'll be spendin' some $$ here)
