I've had 2 kids get their braces here --

I love everyone at this office - it's efficient, friendly, and successful.  I would recommend them to every parent who is considering ortho work for their children.

After giving Sears 2 chances, I called W & B.  I got a return call from the repairman within 2 hours, and he was at my home the next morning.  Within 15 minutes my dryer was repaired  for a reasonable price.  Friendly, quick, knowledgeable, fairly priced - just what I was looking for!

Dryer repair -- 4 days to get appointment (8am-12) finally got call at 2 that he could arrive at 2:30...  so I had to reschedule...next appointment was for following week between 1-5 pm...received a call at 7 pm that he could come by.  Forget it!!!

If you like to skip work, waste time, and not get your appliance repaired, feel free to have the same experience that I did...

I will find someone else to do the work -- I will keep searching until I can report a positive review --  stay tuned!

As a homeowner whose house suffered severe water and toxic mold damage, I couldn't be more grateful for the advice and guidance Alpha Adjusting gave me (and my husband).  From immediate clean-up to evaluating and estimating repair needs, then negotiating a settlement with our insurance provider --  they were an invaluable resource for us.  If your home is damaged by water, fire, or mayhem, it's worth calling these wonderful people as soon as possible to make sure your home is put back to its original glory.  I hope you never need them; if you do, you'll be glad you hired them!

The produce is great and the prices are fantastic!  This isn't your basic one-stop-shopping experience-I go elsewhere for paper goods and baking needs.  For basic meat cuts and produce, though,  I find what I need-- fresh, well-priced, and bountiful.  And best - I can get in and out as quickly as a convenience store.  They don't take Amex :(

For everyday shirts and your basic wardrobe , the prices can't be beaten.  The service is great, and I love not having to keep a receipt (they use a phone number).  I've asked for them to pre-spot stains, which they do, but it doesn't always save my drips and drops.  

For my finest clothing and linens (they don't do blankets or flats), I still go to Barry Regent.  For almost everything, though, the price is right!

First time here - great experience!  Tuesdays are 2 pizzas for one - this is a great deal and the word's out - the house was packed!

The bruschettas were fantastic, and the salads were great.  Try the famiglia (3 salads) for sharing - we enjoyed the tomato, spinach, and chopped salads.  I'm not a fan of olives, but the verdure pizza was very good.  The prosciutto was even better.  

Our server didn't know very much about the substantial wine list.    I had the 3 "Interesting Reds" flight - they were indeed interesting, and I enjoyed them, but I would have liked to know a bit more about them.

We'll definitely return!

Nothing beats "family", and that's how we're treated when we enter Joe's pet store.  While he carries high end products, I can find everyday items, too.  He's always ready to make suggestions regarding diet, toys, or accessories.  Dewey LOVES to visit, and I look forward to patronizing this store for years to come!

I love this shop!  Not only are there unique gifts and items for the home, but the eco-friendly, hand made, local, recycled/reused/repurposed items are creative and lovely.  Shopping here does three worthy things -- it supports a local business (Nadeen is terrific!), it supports the environment, and it supports the small crafty businesses and artisans who create the items.  What could be better?
