dell diamond
I have had the chance to visit Dell Diamond quite a bit and have a wonderful experience each and everytime. My daughter has gone on several occassions for Girl Scout night and stuffed herself silly with Cotton Candy, Hot Dogs, Nachos, and Snow Cones. You name it and she wants it! Food can be expensive although they will have certain items discounted on special nights and towards the end of the game they discount several items to $1.00. if you're still hungry for a hotdog at 10 pm. There is also a playscape for the children that are not too intereseted in the game. They host birthday parties too that I heard are awesome. I am hoping to have my sons there when he gets a little bit older. The parking is easy and accessible and the pricing is definitely reasonable and worth it. The Dell Diamond also allows different functions to happen such as the Sami Show and most recently an RV Show.
PROS: Tons of Activities to do!
CONS:
River City Tattoo
A fabulous tattoo artist drew my tattoo exactly as I decribed. It is an awesome tattoo that I have wrapped around my ankle. This was my first experience at a tattoo shop and it met all the expectations I had . It was very clean and the staff we very nice. Everything was very sanitary and they used new needles each time. They did not rush through the job and let me take a break when it started to hurt a bit more than I thought it would. The price was higher than I thought a tattoo would cost. but in the end it was well worth the price for the safety factor involved. It lis ocated on 6th Street. so it is a very convenient location. This was a last minute unplanned visit and they were able to get me in quite quickly as they had plenty of people working and plenty of space to accomodate quite a few people at one time. They also had a piercing area. I will definitely go back and hope my original tattoo artist is still there. I just have to figure out what I'm going to get next.
PROS: Good communication, Sanitary
CONS:
Boulevard Co
Like most talent/modeling agencies you will get calls at the last minute, this place is no different but to no fault of theirs. My daughter and son have been to many audtions through this company and my husband even got in a commercial when he was noticed at an audition with my daughter. The owner is very nice and helpful. The employees give the correct information that is needed for the audtions and set up appointments for you. If your lifestyle is flexible than this type of work would be great for you.
PROS: Friendly and helpful staff
CONS: Last minute calls
Capital Gymnastics Inc
My daughter has been to this location for several birthday parties. She enjoyed herself immensely but there were a couple of things that I didn't particularly like. Some of the equipment wasn't in the best condition which is to be expected from the amount of use I guess . The center area which is the parent waiting area, but also where they have the tables set up for parties was a little dirty and musty. During a summer party it was very hot in one of the areas that seemed more like a warehouse. The last party my daughter went to there was being run by some young employees who seemed more interested in talking with one another than participating and monitoring the children running around. I thought that was unsafe and unprofessional. I have looked into parties here and the price seems comparable to other places.
PROS: Fun parties for trhe children
CONS: employees not watching children
Acrotex Gymnastics
My daughter has been to this location twice for birthday parties. I looked into parties for her birthday and prices seemed reasonable. Each of the two parties she attended a girl hurt her arm (one girl actually broke her arm and had to get a cast). That was a ilttle scary so we have decided to do her birthday somewhere else. The facility is clean and the staff seem very personable, enthusiastic, and good with the children. My daughter had fun at the parties!
PROS: Fun birthday parties
CONS: May be too dangerous for inexperienced gymnasts
Radijazz Playnasium
This is a great place to visit when the weather is hot, cold, or rainy. The pricing is excellent and well worth every penny. The staff are helpful and interact with the children while also watching them for safety. There are tons of things to do at this indoor wonderland, there is a lava pit, volcano, and more. Great for varying ages. The downfall for me is the location as it is too far away from me!
PROS: keeps the children entertained for hours
CONS:
Partners Pet Ctr
This pet shop is located close to Dell and plenty of other stores so it is quite convenient to shop here. The parking lot is small so sometimes it's hard to find a parking spot. There are all kinds of animals to look at which is my kids favorite thing to do. They've got all the equipment and accessories that you can possibly want and the prices aren't much different than the bigger chain stores. Customer service is nice and the store is kept clean.
PROS: Clean and friendly environment
CONS: Parking
A Moment In Time
We had a good photography experience with Jennifer. She was very patient with my children and tried to get the best photos possible. Prices are a bit higher than another company I've used before, but the pictures turned out beautiful so it was well worth the extra money. Apponntments were easily made by calling and she was on time and professional.
PROS: Enthusiastic Photographer
CONS: on the expensive side
The Scrap Shop
This shop has everything that you could prossibly need for a new scrapbooker or an experienced one. The prices are a little bit higher than if purchasing these items at Hobby Lobby or Michael's but there is a nice selection of different items that you may not find in those stores as well. Good location and adequate parking. Staff was friendly and helpful.
PROS: Ton of supplies for scrapbooking
CONS: Some items priced high
Countryside Nursery & Landscape
We purchased 3 large bushes and a large tree that were very expensive. Employees did come and dig the holes and put the bushes and tree in the ground as part of the service price. The bushes never got as big as we were told they would get and soon all but 1 died. They were watered per recommendations as well. The tree has also not grown at the rate that we were told it would. After many years it finally has grown more branches and some more leaves, but it is not nearly as big as it should be for the type of tree we were told it was when we bought it I don't feel that they were knowledgeable about the items they were selling and their prices were high for what I got. Customer service was also lacking.
PROS: Huge selection of plants, bushes, trees
CONS: Not knowledgeable about what they are selling.
