“I stumbled upon this amazing little shop while travelling for work. Ended up finding a signed copy of Leviathan Wakes here. Great selection and the gentleman that helped me was fantastic. Had great book talk. Bought three books while I was there. Looks like they have great events here too. I'll be back for sure when I'm back in the area!”
“I spoke to them cross country in regards to programming my device. They were happy to help me, I shipped it with the documentation for the necessary signal sources and they sent it back in a short time. I could not get any signals. I called and they took my call right away and withing 2 minutes I was up and running with signals coming from all repeaters. Their knowledge is evident, their service is solid. I appreciate when a service provider does what they promise and Scanner Master delivered. Top notch company that I whole heartedly give my recommendations to for anyone in need of these specialized services. Way to go.”
“I’ve gotten so many crystals here! This place is beautiful and ran by such amazing staff! This is definitely a fun place to visit. The selection of crystals is quite large too.”
“This place is a true gem! I have bought gifts here for years (love the complementary gift wrapping!) and recently tried the pottery. The staff is so helpful, explaining the process and assisting me and my kids when we wanted to try a handprint design. They even came to the rescue to end a toddler tantrum during pottery painting! Their selection of toys, books, games, and stuffies is fabulous. They have a really wide array of things to paint in the pottery section, and the space for painting is very nicely set up and calming.”
“One of our favorite local bookstores- have a great kids selection. They also have some gifts and cards if you need something for a birthday present. They have a used book section in the basement.”
“Well organized and easy to get around. A little smaller than one close to my house so they didn't have exactly what I was looking for, but still fun to poke around in.”
“Wonderful store! While I wasn't there in person, I made an online order for a highly anticipated book. The order arrived exactly as promised, very well packaged and a nice handwritten note on the receipt. Support small book stores y'all! This was a wonderful experience!”
“Entered on a very busy day with two young children and was greeted with such warmth from the employee. Quick to ask of we needed help and able to show us quickly our preferences. Very friendly and welcoming, recommended for all!”
“Framingham State is a place that has its quirks, just like every other college. I transferred here from UMass Dartmouth, which was quite a depressing and isolating campus feel. Framingham, to me, is very warm, inviting, and traditional while utilizing modern technology across campus. The classes are generally very small and most professors are very well versed in their subject matters, so although challenging, a lot of information is to be learned through practice. Yes, there is limited parking due to the size of the campus itself, but there are lots for everyone. Just be sure to ask questions on where to park and obtaining information from campus police in the correct manner. Most people are very friendly and share really great stories. It makes me sad to see people digging on the school for minor things. There is a lot to be said about the first normal school in America. There is a lot of history and heritage at the University that should be appreciated. This was one of the best experiences, as I've fostered connections with diverse and caring people. I would highly recommend giving it a chance before bashing on the minor issues that are often resolved just by communication, such as Wi-Fi, parking, and other things.”
Barnes & Noble is proving that physical bookstores aren't going anywhere. The retailer just opened three new locations across Texas and South Carolina, marking another step in its comeback story. Barnes & Noble opened 57 stores in 2024 alone - more than it had opened in the entire decade from 2009 to 2019. The company isn't slowing down either, with plans to open more than 60 new stores in 2025 and a goal of reaching over 1,000 stores nationwide in the coming years.
