“Was awesome to walk in and see 5 tables of miniature games going on at once. Met the staff and they were very friendly, showed me their whole operation, explained services they offered and pricing, and even offered some great painting tips. Probably the best prices for Citadel and Army Painter paints in the area. Bolt Action, Konflict 47, Reptilian Overlords, Games Workshop minis on sale for MSRP.”
“First time in today, to say I was blown away with the amount of vintage cards and memorabilia is a massive understatement! Great prices, great service, can’t wait to go back!!”
“The owners and employees are friendly and helpful. They specialize in comics (and do so extremely well!), but also have space and inventory devoted to RPG's, CCG's, and boardgames. Whether you're looking to collect or play, Comic Book World will welcome you.”
“We had an amazing experience with about 1.5 hours to kill before our flight. We were looking for a two player game and got an amazing series of recommendations, a wonderful atmosphere to try them out, and left with a new game we love and had never heard of before. Can’t say enough about how incredible the customer service was.”
“The flags are great. Made in the USA like they should be. More things need to be made in America to continue to make this country self sufficient. The young man than worked in the store was very knowledgeable and helpful. Buy American!!!!!”
“Clay at Main Street Coin made evaluating and selling my coin collection easy. He was patient and informative as we examined and evaluated my collection. There was no pressure to sell, just clear explanation about what I had (or didn't) in my collection. Clay even helped me with some foreign currency from about 12-15 countries that I wanted to unload. I was anxious about what to expect from the process, but left feeling positive about our transaction. I recommend the services of Clay/Main Street Coin in Hyde Park.”
“Osborne Coinage Co. makes some of the finest products that I have ever laid my hands on. I am a humble member of the Barlow Bearcat Club & the coins that they minted for us are stellar. They are in "Proof" quality & if you know anything about coinage, you understand that proof coins are the finest quality of coins produced. They are meticulously produced in small numbers and handled to a specific set of guidelines, which ensures the highest quality standard for coins. To make what they made & to do it in the time they did is almost unimaginable, if I am being honest. This speaks volumes to their unwavering dedication to quality and customer service. If you are interested in getting some custom coinage produced, look no further because this is your company.”
“I didn't catch the woman's name, but she was very kind,helpful, informative and I felt honest about the hot wheels I was asking her to appraise. I would definitely recommend o'smileys based on my experience there. I felt she was very honest about what I had and the value they hold. 100% recommend. Plus if you like vintage toys, they have a pretty substantial collection.”
“My first visit to Knit On! was a success! They have such a huge selection here, a whole room of your natural fibers (like wool or cotton) and another room of acrylic and baby yarns. I was amazed at the selection given I am a beginner and have only shopped at Michael's Crafts for yarn. It's clear the yarns are high quality but they have some at every price point which is great. This place is so much better than the big box store where I've had a hard time finding a selection of wool yarn and things like safety eyes. Knit On! had everything I'd ever need for a project and a lot for inspiration too. There were some baby lovey kits and kits for scarves and other fun creations. There are cute pins and jewelry too! I liked how it was all well organized. The proprietor Nancy helped me and was very kind. She showed me where everything is and let me browse as I pleased. She also wound my yarn into a cake/ball for me and let me know they offer knitting lessons if I'd ever like to try! I enjoyed the visit and will definitely return for any special or nice project I want to make.”
“This shop was great! Staff was knowledgeable and made great recommendations for Christmas gifts that my family members loved. Definitely try out the mystery dice gum ball machine. We got fun patterns to add to our collection.”
“I had such a great experience here. I came in on a whim looking for paint but not knowing exactly what I needed. The salesperson was very nice and listened to my needs. He then recommended several options and helped me make the right choice. I am extremely satisfied with the help I received.”
“Hobby Lobby is a great place for all things creative. The store has a huge selection of craft supplies, home décor, seasonal items, and DIY materials, all at reasonable prices—especially with their frequent sales. It’s easy to spend hours browsing because there’s always something inspiring to find. The staff is friendly and helpful, and the store is usually clean and well organized. Perfect spot for anyone who loves crafting or decorating.”
“I'm not a coin collector so I can only speak of my boyfriends experience and he does s fair amount of trading and buying there. He's never complained about them. He has a positive experience each time.”

“Lovely shop and very kind staff.
I was searching for Christmas gifts for my wife, and these kind folks had a beautiful set of coins and notes from which to select.
Brad was clearly a master, well studied in the history of currency and monetary exchange, and he was quite generous with sharing his time and knowledge with me to select the perfect gift.
I'd strongly recommend this shop. Thanks guys!”
“Not sure why anyone interested in model railroading in the tri-state would go anywhere but Allied Rail. They are knowledgeable, friendly, have good prices on everything, and literally have anything you need for model trains, regardless of age. And if they don't have it they can get it. I wouldn't go anywhere else.”
“I'm pleasantly surprised that a box store like this has professional in-house framers with some knowledge! I appreciated the framing work they did. They were helpful & efficient in the process.”
“Best place in the area to go when getting into hobby. Can’t recommend it enough, the store manager is always willing to talk any and all things warhammer and gives excellent painting advice. He’ll even walk you through painting your first model to help set up good basic fundamentals before starting yourself!”
“There was a very nice lady working in the aisles that went above and beyond to help me find the right elf for my daughter.I walk with a cane and she was very considerate and offered to help me to the register with my items. (I'm upset didn't get her name because she should be recognized for her service) The cashier and her manager were very not nice and looked like they didn't even want to be there, they had sour puss face as my grandma would call it. The cashier knew nothing about the rewards program. They did have the elf on the shelf cheaper than anyone else and the store appeared to be nice. The 2 upfront employees would have been sent home if I was the boss there.”

“Very nice staff. Store is pretty organized and clean. I'm not crazy about the area/shopping center though. There were a number of questionable people loitering throughout the parking lot. It made me uncomfortable to leave my car out there and to walk to and from. The store was fine though and everyone inside was very friendly.”
“The workers at the store are very nice. However, they do not have fabric. We came looking for fabric since Jo-Ann Fabrics is closed now. The internet said that Michaels has fabric, but this particular one does not.”
“Was going out of town to visit nieces and nephews, got three toys from this store as I had in the past. Came home and heard that the bubble blaster didn’t last a week. My niece called and emailed store with no response even though I had receipt’s. I really want to support local but the store did not stand behind products and I was embarrassed that the toy I bought didn’t last 7 days.Update- stopped in the store after owner replied to my post. Brought receipts in and they sent a replacement out.”
“Never been here but was surprised on how much is hidden in the little store. Dave was super cool and explained how the game nights work. Additionally, the card ordering kiosk is super handy for seeing if they have what you're looking for when it's busy”
“So other than a couple super specific things that they don’t carry and I wish they would (i.e., metal sectional frames, canvas stretchers, blank stencil sheets, Montana spray paints) they have a great selection for most every crafty project you can think of. I usually go in with a purpose to pick up something or other, and leave with that along with supplies for at least two or three new hobbies.The absolute best kept secret is the “practice/ooops/abandoned/sample sale” frames in the back of the custom framing area (on the wall by the work table and employee work area) - they sell these professionally made custom frames for just $8 apiece *regardless of the size.* While there are no guarantees as to what they’ll have in rotation at any given time, I have picked up some downright massive high-quality frames as well as several matched sets for next to nothing on multiple occasions. The app is a good source of rewards and discounts, especially if you’re an educator, veteran, or first responder. Can also be worth swinging through the kid section for less expensive versions of certain craft supplies.”
“Rude staff back in the 2000s but hopefully they improved. So I will give 5 stars. This was a nice gamestop back in the day. God bless Gamestop ? ? ❤️ ? ✨️ ♥️ ✝️”
“Morgan F was beyond helpful!!! She opened the door right at 12pm and I spent the next hour asking her so many questions. She was so patient and knowledgeable as I navigated my purchases. As someone who is getting back into gaming but also has a 5 year old nephew who is into gaming, I wanted to make sure that I bought the best console and games to maximize the experience and Morgan was amazing!”
“This is one of the best shops I've ever been to. The staff is off the chain good; knowledgeable, helpful, but not intrusive. You can tell they put a lot of thought into the shop as a whole, but the book curating... *Chef's kiss*
The gaming section is really cool, gorgeous dice. For any of your occult, witchy, or just cool weird gift needs, it's amazing. I just wish I lived closer.”
