This store reminds me of what Zia's was most like originally. It's funky in a kind of college town type of mentality. They have never been cheap. They have a really interesting selection of used whatever. Truly there is something for anyone who might come in off the street-CD's, magazines, DVD's, videos.... The service is surprisingly good and I always appreciate that. I never get the" you have gray hair and are old" attitude.
To give you an idea of why I appreciate this store in particular was what happened when I was shopping there. There was a college age guy waiting in front of me waiting to pay. Out of nowhere his friend ran up and pulled his pants to the ground. Ever hear of the word commando? The guy who at this point was blushing just slightly lighter than a red light, grabbed them and pulled them up. His girlfriend was laughing so hard I thought she was going to choke. He then paid and the three of them left all laughing. Standing behind me, a man my age-50's-thought what had happened was shocking. I just smiled. I was at the Zia's just off campus in Tempe. I graduated from ASU. I've seen worse.
