I am 8 years old and have been going to Peek-a-Do since I was 4 1/2. I think Peek-a-Do is the best kids/grown-ups hair salon ever. Kids get a variety of tv shows and movies to watch during their haircut. There is a play area filled with toys that you can play with while waiting to get your hair cut. They have a variety of very nice staff. I think you will like it too.
Pros: nice staff, tv while I get haircut, kid and adult cuts

I love the Regulator--it's one of the things that has always drawn me to Durham. As a Duke student, I loved that I could walk there for author events and just to browse. Now that I live in Durham and work at Duke, I still frequent this place! The staff is friendly and helpful, and going in there is like visiting an old friend. The only reason I didn't give them a full 10 is because the shop makes me feel a little claustrophobic, especially when there are a lot of people there, like for an event or on a Saturday afternoon... They are a dedicated anchor on the changing face of 9th Street, and I would never want them to move, but I wish there were some way to open up their space a little better!
Pros: Staff, Selection, Atmosphere
Cons: They've overgrown their space!

Stacks and rows and stacks upon stacks ;b Love this store, love its locale near Duke, 9th St, and hub bub yet accessible, open late after my shift ends (YAY!) and LARGE parking lot! Like this Broad St store better than Hillsborough St, Raleigh (which I haven't been to in 3 years so may have improved), but both have top notch selection and variety, great prices, allowing me many reads for less cash, they do take cards, they do have an "account" system for crediting used books submitted by customers, they do have a fun, eclectic set-up in the Broad St store, albeit a little disorganized, but better than many other used bookstores I've been in. This ain't no Barnes and Noble folks, thank God!! Treat it well, as the lil slice of unique enjoyment that it is.

I would like to write a response to mikerr. I am the "employee" with which he speaks of. However he is untruthful in his writing. He purchased the AquaC Urchin Pro at an awesomely discounted price of 199.99, against my recommendation. I measured it for him to ensure that it would fit inside his sump, he said he thought it would. I recommended a different protein skimmer but told him that the AquaC had a good reputation. He decided, after looking online, that the AquaC was the skimmer for him. Now, he should have measured his space before he tried to put it in his sump, that is not my fault and I will not be unjustly accused. At Triangle Tropical Fish we try to sell quality products at reasonable prices. How would someone feel if they purchased the protein skimmer he returned with water stains in it? I'm very sorry that he is so angry but this is not my fault. He also did not want to "exchange" for anything else, he just wanted his money back. I would not punish another customer for his mistakes. We are more than happy to take returns on items that are in the same condition that they are sold in.

Customer Service Can't be Beat! Dog/cat feed: Natura products (yay! Innova, CA Natural, EVO), TOTW, EaglePack Holistic, Solid Gold, Diamond's Premium Edge (and Chicken Soup FTS, Diamond itself, crud in a bag), Purina ProPlan, Wellness etc. Comparable pricing with frequent buyer savings on select feeds. Samples for customers readily available on shelves, so you don't have to pay $20-40 just to "try" a premium, quality, nutrient-rich food. Recently Natura prices up at this store, actually better at Phydeaux, Chapel Hill, but I go to Barnes for good folks, local community feel, and great service! Eclectic variety of pet hardware (Lupine! lifetime warranty, free exchanges!), treats, bones (roasted, pig ears, bully sticks), toys and supplements; bird houses/feeders and feed. Beds/crates. GOOD supply Weaver leather dog restraints. In Spring, Broad St sidewalk storefront is full of their plants for sale, primarily commercialized (Bonnie brand), but still pretty to looksee. EXCELLENT folks workin there, very attentive, consistent, helpful, know their stock and inventory well. If they don't know they'll find out, they'll order it, check with a "senior level" employee, they'll "serve" you, unlike the chainstores! Special orders also. Also carry Purina livestock feeds, in the heart of Durham, imagine! I'd love some horse dewormers and supplements, but they are just Filled to Capacity already with pet foods. Please, keep their doors open and their staff employed, as I and my crazed critters would miss Barnes terribly! GO get some yummy food! Maybe they'll expand some day and have all my critters' needs met, if you patron their fine establishment that is!
Pros: Best stock of pet feeds in Durham, HANDS DOWN! Supreme Service!

they are cheap, and a second hand book store is very useful. they also have sself help practice books for little children to teach them math and reading and i get them for my children because it keeps them busy and makes them smarter. not just paper is the only place where i can easily access these types of books because bigger bookstores do not carry them.

Most up this place to buy and to sell local college textbooks. However, if you are a collector, an avid reader or just looking for something unusual, this is your place.
The man, who may be the owner, I dont know...knows where everything is in that place. And it is huge! Books from top to bottom and in every crook and cranny.
You should go!

I was able to meet these great people and make a decision on a ring that best describes my wife. The ring was made by Phil the goldsmith, and Patrick King and I sat down to come up with a design.
Huge selection in stones ,minerals, and precious metal.
I chose Jewelsmith because of their unique way of thinking outside of the box and boring tradition.
I am not boring nor is my wife Jessica .
Jewelsmith gave us a piece to remember for the rest of our lives ... Jared will give you nothing but let down ...
I LOVE PHIL AND PATRICK AND ALL THAT IS JEWELSMITH
Pros: Best Custom Jewelry Artist
Cons: NOT A SINGLE THING
