We should start a Poll on here asking if anyone has ever made a purchase at that place?

I have a 6 inch ceramic Celtic cross on my bookshelf next to me right now that I bought there maybe 15 years ago and really like. Most of their stuff looks very gaudy to my eyes and very mass produced looking, but this thing was definitely homemade by someone in their shed. Can't remember how much I spent, probably no more than $30. I was actually in the store a month or so ago and there was a family in there and the dad was telling the guy how much his kid liked whatever statue thing they got last time, so now it was the other kid's turn to pick something out, so they do get some business.
There's also a nerdy second hand bookstore opened up last year in the mall with a crap name (Sankjuri Books) Somewhat overpriced but I think they have a bunch of 60s/70s/80s sci fi/horror type stuff if that's your thing.
I do wonder how places like the fortune teller stay in business, but I guess I wonder how those kinds of places stay in business anyway.
