Paper Skyscraper is almost like a sight-seeing stop. In a city with antique stores dying out, this mod collection of odds and ends gives you the same fascinating "forrages" without the tetanus shots.
Seriously, name a category and there's a section of the store dedicated to it. There's a solid cooking section with appliances and hip cookbooks. I've never seen an architecture section bigger than a few volumes, but interior design dorks will love here. They manage to cater to every possible quirk and taste, and hanging out there is often essential to a trip uptown.
My issue with the place is some of the prices for items that look great on the shelf but might be out of place in my home. Nevertheless, it's a challenge to resist buying something. I feel like there's a magnet installed in the store that's attracted to my wallet.
If I'm by the East/West Blvd. light rail stop, I almost always swing by the store. That magnetism has a strong pull.
