I've been to several Circuit Cities in different areas and this one stood out as the worst one. First, the store is not as big as others. They often don't have items in stock, but if the item you are looking for is in stock, it's easy to find it (I guess it's because it's a small store, after all!). The worst thing about this Circuit City is the service. On multiple occasions, I was given wrong information by a store representative, brushed off without a real answer by a store representive, or just given a plain "I don't know." without trying to find the answer for me. Lastly, they made me wait for a LONG TIME to get my order, as if they have forgotten about my order.

This store has lots of Asian toys, gifts, hair accessories, purses, stuffed animals, hair extensions. If you are a fan of anime, try this place to find merchandise with anime characters on them. There carry The Dog items, various anime items, phone straps, Betty Boop items, etc. etc. It's really fun to browse this store! This is probably the best store that carry this kind of stuff in the area.
The price is not expensive, either - they are about average. The inventory changes often so make sure you visit back often because when new items come in, they might have too many of them. I just wish the store is even bigger!

So the area this restaurant is in in Gaithersburg is really nice. It's like a suburban town center - tons of kids but a surprising amount of adults. If you want real seafood, go to a seafood restaurant (clearly). But if you just want a decent suburban option, Joe's isn't bad. However, if you're going on Friday or Saturday night, be prepared to wait. Put your name in, then go run some errands at Target.

Came upon this place by accident - it was late and the only restaurant around. Mmm, glad I did. So delicious. Big platters of ribs and such yummy sauces. They leave a big selection on the table. Devil's spit and Sweet and Sassy are my favorite. Great for Atkins too - My parents came in to visit and they're on it. We went there both nights they were in.

I'm currently in the Student Banking package. CCB is really convenient because it has many branches as well as ATMS in malls, grocery stores, etc. Their Online Banking is wonderful as well – a great way to keep track of your account without going to the bank. Though the lines can sometimes be long, I always receive courteous service.

First of all, some staff here is pretty friendly. They are alway very happy to help when help is needed. The store carries just about everything you need for your basic projects. The shelves are pretty much stocked well, but some corners can be a little bit messy. It pays to join their club so you can get discounts for your purchases. I enjoy shopping here because the prices are lower than other fabric stores; I've found items that were priced so low (regular prices) that even the cashier was surprised. Things are pretty easy to find, also. However, they might not have the biggest selection of fabrics, but the selection they carry should suffice for your basic needs.

Everytime I go to this Petco ,I am greeted by the friendly staff. Everyone's willing and available to help you if you need anything and they made me feel like they really value me as a customer, but not in a pushy way. The manager is very nice there and he'd recommend you on products that are really good deals. This Petco doesn't operate like a big national chain store, but the atmosphere is more like a mom-and-pop store. One thing that works against this Petco is that it's a little smaller than other Petcos, and sometimes I do see several empty shelves. One last note I have about this stores it that they have really really good clearance sales after holidays.
