Brand-new stuff at 1/2 regular retail price, and a bunch of used stuff, too.

 

Just felt like singing their praises.

yeah, I got an old school Trivial Pursuit Genus Ed. board game there for a few bucks. Its awesome because I don't think they make regular trivial pursuits anymore.

Why can't there be one of these in SC? I know most of our residents cannot read but...

Went there yesterday, with no intention of buying anything. Just went to kill some time.

Left with a book for Sharon, a comic book for Ethan, a CD for Cary, and Season 1 of SCTV on DVD for the family.

 

Bless that store to hell.
