This place was great! Very glad I stumbled across it. Much larger than you'd think even once you first walk inside. A lot of vendors and most with nice treasures. Definitely a place that you know you could find something unique and special, even if you weren't looking for it. Absolutely worth visiting in the area!

This place is awesome! Unlike similar places, the pricing here is so much more reasonable. Flats of VHS for $5, NES games that aren't priced with the idea of retro=expensive. If you have the time to really look around, you can find some real gems here. This last Iowa visit, I walked out with so much, I highly recommend this place. Bonus: the signs around the store for would be shoplifters and parents who think places like this are daycares are wonderful! Love it!
