As a gentleman of masculine pastimes, whenever i go to a new town I immediately begin gambling. I…read moreused a search assistant feature on my new model mobile phone to find Tracks, which I assumed was the town's horse racetrack. I had a hard time finding a place to park, due to the abundance of vehicles already taking up all of the spots. I drove for over an hour looking for a place to park. I eventually drove back to my home in Indianapolis, Indiana and took an Uber to Tracks. It was a long drive, but I gave the nice driver some very enlightening life advice as a tip. He was receptive, grateful and kissed my hand as I exited the vehicle. When I walked into Tracks for the first time, I knew I was in the wrong place. So I walked out the door and entered again. The second time, I knew I was still in the wrong place. I decided to ask some people in the shirt section what was going on and why there were no horses in here. No cashiers. No tickets littering the floors. They seemed genuinely confused, and offered me nosatisfying answer. I noticed a tall gentleman working behind the counter and thought "finally!, a guy who knows what's going on!". To the best of my recollection this was our conversation: "Hello, sir, I enjoy your location but dislike the parking options, could you point me to the horses" "Sorry about the parking it can be bad on the weekends. What horses do you mean?" "The racehorses, the ponies, where is the TRACK?" "Sir, we are a record store and sell IU merchandise, I think you might have us confused with someone else." "of course not, I knew all along" In an attempt to play off my blunder, I shimmied to the shelves containing large circular music. I browsed through their selection not knowing what to do next. My car was in Indianapolis, I spent all of my money on a Uber, and now I am pretending to want to buy circular music. When they weren't looking I did a military crawl out of the door. I am sure it is a good place if you want circular music or IU merchandise.

There are art books, foreign language books, references, sci fi, mystery, romance, kids books, and more. It's not necessarily cheap, but the selection is eclectic. Their discount books bring me in, too, but I inevitably leave with a stack. My father did this. I inherited volumes from him, and added to it, refining the collection along the way. It's plainly stunning to see the variety of content available here. This store is a magnet for the mind. As I mentioned in my prior review, it's not as large as Powell's in Portland, or has the karma of City Lights in San Francisco, but in a way, it's close the same magnetism you feel in a really good used bookstore. Plan to spend time, and go oomph when you carry the stack when you leave. It's a dangerous place, with dangerous ideas. Go there.

The IU campus bookstore is well stocked; however, it is small and overcrowded making it hard to view all the merchandise. My boyfriend and I came to purchase six sweatshirts for gifts. When I asked if there was a fitting room, the sales lady replied with a curt no. Obviously, customer service or being an ambassador for the University was not thought of when hiring her. We told the sales lady we had come from Georgia for Thanksgiving and were visiting IU for the first time. We also told her we were planning to purchase a few sweatshirts as gifts and really needed to know how they fit. She had no compassion even when I asked if I could go try them on in the restroom. Unbelievable! I had to try on the sweatshirts on top of the sweatshirt I had on. In addition, there was only one mirror in the whole store. There were also several other customers wanting to try on items. Of course, after we made our selections and went to the counter with all six $55 sweatshirts, the sales lady was more than gracious.

On this trip we found some fun things she liked, and I found a shirt for myself. If you don't know the layout, it's fairly confusing. It's not that it doesn't make sense, it's more the lack of signage. After perusing the small selection of furniture, we went to girls clothes. I thought it was strange that there were no tops, only skirts and pants. When I asked an employee, it sounded like where were was the area for those sizes of clothes. A little wandering proved me wrong! Tops and dresses are in a different row! I noticed there are two bathrooms and no changing room. When I asked the same employee, I was brusquely told that there was a 2 week (I think) return window with a receipt if the tags were still attached. In other words, no. They don't have a fitting room. This is where I again want to point out that Goodwill gets their stuff for FREE. I'm assuming they don't want people to steal the things Goodwill gets for free. The answer is to generally deal with it and not punish good honest customers because you're afraid someone is going to walk out with a $4 shirt. I guess the pros right now are that the store is more clean and orderly than I remember. I think the cons are that it still seems like a place where you simply take your chances when you buy something. Maybe it fits. Maybe it doesn't. Maybe it works. Maybe it doesn't. I'm pretty sure they don't test any of it. Clearly, it offers cheap clothes and other stuff. Just be prepared to use the bathroom if you have to try something on.
