I listen to more contemporary music than the oldies and I'm so glad they had musicians I recognized (SO close to getting a mac demarco record fr). I got a slip mat (I need merch duh) and a C418 record!!! Never seen that in the wild! I will be coming again. The man at the desk with the beanie was very nice

Barter for a great deal. Think of this place as a type of pawn shop as far as what they carry. They will buy used gear from you or trade. Pretty kick back attitude and funny signs all around the store. Damn big place too, so spend some time, and look around, move some boxes, look behind things, etc. Lot's of hidden treasures abound of things that you may or may not need. One thing that I noticed is the guy that works there can be left to man the fort by himself and it seems that all hell breaks loose when this happens (phones ring off the hook, customers come in with all sorts of questions, etc.). He handles the rush really well, so try to cut him some slack if he is busy. I see so many rude clerks and staff at places that are snotty for no reason at all, so when I see this guy busting his back and keeping his cool, he deserves some common courtesy. This is a cool, local shop that gives Astoria some quirky character that keeps us as weird as Portland will ever be, without as many Portlandia Freaks and Geeks to annoy us here on our mossy coast. SHOP LOCAL!!!!!

Hal's General Store and Hal's Emporium are in the same location but in two different buildings…read more I've always went into Hal's General Store thinking it was Hal's Emporium, which was just a slight oversight on my part because they are owned and operated by the same person. Hall's General Store is what it sounds like and what my first review was mainly on so this time I'm going to focus on Hal's Emporium side of the business. It is more crafts and gift side with a discount item section in the back. You have to experience Hal's Emporium to full appreciate review. All I can really say is that you'll save a lot of money and find really interesting stuff at both stores. It is well worth stopping in and browsing about. Over a year later, I still like shopping at both stores.

Shared parking lot spots and street parking were full by Cloud & Leaf Bookstore. I found a spot a few blocks away, which made for a pleasant walk. This indie bookstore is a bit cramped, but did the job having a variety of titles to browse or purchase. I opted to snag instead the last long sleeved Tshirt with their cool business logo for $25. Easily this would cost more back home. Happy with this purchase.
