I honestly don't know how many times I passed by Zolas before realizing it was there. It is pretty much above Brueggers Bagel and from the streets you can see the sign and the windows. Go in! From the street it doesn't look like much, but it has so much to offer. It is a craft gallery with some of the most beautiful handmade jewelry around. It is a bit pricey, but not exorbanent. There are so many different items plan on spending some quality time taking in all of the variety and beauty!

I can do all my holiday shopping here! If you like eye candy, this is the place! What an eclectic assortment of merchandise, all skillfully crafted and unique. The jewelry is exquisitely hand crafted by artists and definitely distinctive.
Worth the trip!

Whole Foods often has wonderful looking produce (organic and conventional), but it's usually more expensive than what you'd find at Kroger or Food Lion. They're also more likely to have more "gourmet" produce, which is nice if you're into cooking. I really like the service at the meat and seafood counters, since you can buy as little or as much as you want (sometimes hard to find in regular grocery stores). They also have a nice selection of prepared foods, if you're feeling lazy. The one drawback is that the parking lot is really too small, and it can be a pain to get parking around lunchtime or after work.

I love a bookstore, especially one where I feel free to take a peek under the covers. Naturally, this makes me a big fan of any used book store.
Wentworth & Leggett in Brightleaf Square is pleasant, filled with books of every vintage organized by subject and author. The lighting is satisfactory, but like most used book stores suffers from inter-shelf dark regions.
Older and more valuable books - many of particular local interest - are kept near the clerk's desk, and there is usually a pile of books on a nearby discount table. The selection is reasonable, even excellent in local and American history books; however, even common science and theological books I've hunted seem never to be around.
The clerk generally tries to be helpful, but seems to understand that if he lets me browse I'm more likely to buy something that wasn't on my list. The checkout system is a real blast from the past: book information and pricing is kept in a ledger, and the clerk calculates as you wait. They do take credit cards, but the machine has been broken on at least two of my visits, so I try to stick to cash-and-carry.
In summary, I would not use this as a library substitute; books are fairly expensive for a used book store in this area, and since I read little American history I find that it lacks a lot of selection - a fact somewhat tempered by its great location and reasonable inventory turnover.

Visart is a local chain (I think), and I think that it is so much better than Blockbuster. They have a huge selection of both mainstream stuff and harder to find stuff. It's great if you are looking for specific obscure film or if you want to browse and find something unusual. Also, I have found that their staff are often more knowledgeable about films than the people who work at Blockbuster. Another plus is that their prices are better than Blockbuster.
