I was surprised at how much smaller it is than I expected . I was equally surprised that they seem to have stuffed 10 stores worth of merchandise in here! Not only is there an amazingly diverse selection, but they have some really oddball stuff too. The prices are more than fair. I think I could visit for a few hours and still not see everything.
