I do believe this is the first Wal-Mart I have been in that hasn't been a scary experience. I usually go here for household items (bleach, laundry detergent, ect) because its so much cheaper than anywhere else, and they also have dirt cheap film developing and digital prints, this store being no exception. The first thing you notice when you walk in is the lack of the disgusting eatery. You could tell there was one there, but is covered over. Smart move. Secondly, throughout the whole store, it is clean and rather organized (even in the back to school aisle in the beginning of September) unlike any other Wal-Mart I have ever been to. And last but not least, most of the employees seem rather happy with their jobs, and are pleasant to customers and to each other, which makes shopping so much better. No matter what anyone else says or thinks, I still love me a good Wal-Mart!
I spent a long time thinking this business had to be a front for something else. Three times I tried to call in an order. Once on a Thursday night at 5pm, someone picked up the phone and told me they were closed. Times two and three were both on Saturday evenings, and no one picked up the phone at all.
I was about to write it off as a lost cause, when just the other day, I found a menu and advertisement for this place at my front door. They claimed new ownership, so I gave them another shot. Now, three times ordering from them, I am highly pleased.
The pizza here is pretty solid. Not the best ever, but some decent thin crust. What I do like about them is the huge selections of toppings. It pretty much blows any other local place out of the water. Alfredo sauce, olive oil, fresh basil and garlic, Roma tomatoes, Canadian bacon, and Italian beef, just to name a few. If you cannot decide, they have at least 20 specialty pizzas for you to choose from (I personally suggest the Spinach Classic.)
They also have sandwiches, appetizers, ribs, chicken, and deserts on the menu. For $6 you can get an order of Baked Lasagna large enough to easily feed two, not to mention, it's really good. But the winner of it all is their beer nuggets. Little fried pieces of garlicky, doughy goodness. And for $4.20 you get a huge order of them (one pound, to be exact) served with marinara sauce.

Here you can find everything from transcendental meditation and Eastern religions to earth-based Paganism and Magick and everything in between. Not only religions, but also books full of mythology and history. I could spend a fortune on these books, but I was not scolded or hurried to leave when I found myself enraptured in a book of Wiccan rites and beliefs.
The statuary and figurines along the walls are beautiful. Pan, Anubis, Quan Lin, Zeus, Odin, laughing Buddha, Vishnu; just to name a few. If you are looking for a particular Deity, you will be sure to find it here.
I came across plenty of candles made during different lunar phases and made of soy and beeswax, incense of many variates, and essential oils. Also shamanic drums, relaxation Cd's, and even scrying bowls.
I came in to find and purchase my new Book of Shadows, but I came out with a new perspective on my spirit and then some. This was on my first visit. I cannot see into the future, but I know this place will become a resource of the rest of my journey.
