Changing Times Books & Gifts
This is a great little shop to go to for unique gifts. They sell a wide variety of items to promote a healthy, mindful lifestyle. It is a good place to shop for someone else, or for yourself if you are looking for books on personal growth or other "new age" topics. I am interested in mediation, and after feeling lost at larger bookstores (where there are a lot of books on meditation, but nobody to really help you), I ended up at this shop. The staff members really know what they are talking about, and were able to easily help me find what I was looking for.
Wild Cargo Pets Inc
This store is very dirty and smells awful. I know it's a pet store, but I have never been in a pet store that smells this badly. It's as if the store and building are not maintained at all. The staff is unhelpful, to the point of being rude if you interrupt one of their many personal conversations to ask for assistance. I stopped in because it was on my way home and I needed a few items for my pet, but after being treated poorly by 2 staff members, I decided I was going to spend my money somewhere else.
Pampered Pup
The Pampered Pup is a very aptly named store. It has everything you can imagine you would ever need in order to pamper your dog. Some items are a bit expensive, so this is a place to go more for treats than the day-to-day essentials. It is a fun place to shop for your dog. I went in just to browse, but couldn't resist a few adorable items for my pet.
Dawson Plumbing
Dawson Plumbing is staffed with some great plumbers. They are talented, honest, and very friendly. What impressed me is that they seem to know how awkward it can be for a woman home alone to let a strange man into her house, and they do what they can to ease any discomfort. They also have an office you can go to to speak with someone if you need more than they can offer over the phone.
Roses Red Barn
Rose's Red Barn has such a nice atmosphere, it's a great place to go even if you are no planning to buy anything. There is a wide selection of gardening and landscaping supplies, although the items are a bit pricey. It's not good for very small children, but if you have older kids, they'd love it here, too. My young son enjoys shopping here for his own gardening items.
Baby Alexandra
Baby Alexandra is a wonderful little shop if you are looking for children's items. The prices are fair for the products, and they have a great selection to choose from. I've bought a few small pieces of furniture here, as well as room accessories, and have never been disappointed with my purchase.
Kiddie Kane Consignment
This store is very small and cramped, so be prepared to feel closed in while you're shopping. However, the selection and prices make it worth being cramped in. They have great prices, and wonderful discount "tag sales". I bought a bag of baby clothes for a friend, and everything was in wonderful condition. This is a great consignment shop.
Kangaroo's Pouch Incorporated
This a good consignment shop if you are the seller, because the prices here are much higher than other consignment shops, giving you more of a profit. However, if you are the buyer, this is a very expensive store for used items. I went in shopping for clothing for my son, and while they did have a large selection, I could not justify spending that much money on used clothes.
Rorabeck Plants & Produce Incorporated
Rorabeck has wonderful produce available, both fresh and "day old". The day old items are high quality, and can be used for baking or canning. Their fresh produce is above and beyond what you would find in a supermarket, and the prices are much more affordable. This is also a great place to pick up plants and flowers for your garden.
Southern Gardens Nursery
The staff at this nursery is very knowledgeable about all things related to gardening. They are helpful when you are shopping, and really do a great job of helping you choose plants that will work for your location (regarding sun/shade/water exposure, as well as the type of pots you'll be using). I have been shopping around so I can get started on a new container garden, and I will be returning to this nursery in the future.
