When looking for starter equipment for my 10 year old daughter to begin drumming, the staff at Fred Pierce were patient and helped steer us in the right direction.
We walked in to the store knowing absolutely nothing about what we would need or how much it would cost. The staff walked us through the basics and pointed us towards good equipment from practice pads to larger drumsticks that would be easier for a child to handle.
We could very easily been led to the most expensive equipment in the store, but they advised us to give the lower end products a try and if she stuck to it and liked it, what to get next.
After a couple of months, I went back looking for a drum stand and when I couldn't' find one I liked, they went downstairs in their studio and gave me a great deal on one that they used for their lessons.
I definitely recommend Fred Pierce for anyone and their drumming needs. They also give lessons out of their facility.

I've been going to Overland Optical since I got my first pair of glasses in the 4th grade.
They provide high quality frames and lenses, comprehensive exams and a very fast turn around time on all products.
I have a very high prescription and getting contacts can sometimes be a time consuming business. I can't go right in and get them off the shelf.
The staff at Overland Optical knows this and always makes sure to call and have my lenses priority shipped so that I get them as fast as they can get them there. Usually overnight.
I could probably go to a different store and get a slightly cheaper service, but with Overland Optical I get personalized service in which they go out of their way to make sure that I'm satisfied.

When we were planning our first family vacation outside the United States, I decided I'd better go through a travel agent and was recommended Best Ways from a friend.
In my initial call, I gave the agent several locations that I thought we'd be interested in and she told me she'd call me back within 24 hours.
I did receive a call the next day and was given several great options. We chose one and bought the travel insurance that went with our package.
During the planning there were several terrorist attacks and I kept calling asking if we should cancel our trip. The agent was very gracious in dealing with me and was able to calm me down and make our vacation go off without a hitch.
Because we'd purchased the insurance and the rates went down for our trip, our agent kept tabs of the cost and we ended up getting almost half of our initial fee back.
If they can make a panicky person like me have a great trip, they can help you plan a great vacation.

Acapulco is a low key atmosphere where they put the emphasis on the food, not the decorations or loud mariachi type music.
The menu is more tradition Mexican meals rather than Americanized versions and the portion sizes are huge.
We always receive attentive, excellent service where our glasses are never empty and plates are cleared immediately upon setting them aside.
With the low prices and high quality food, Acapulco is a family favorite.

I was a patient of Dr. Bartels until my HMO plan changed and I wasn't able to see her any longer.
She provides a gentle touch in her adjustments and is very considerate of any pain that you may feel.
While some Chiropractors have tried to sell me supplements and other products, she concentrated on the physical therapy aspect of the healing and used adjustment and massage therapy to provide relief.
For a gentle, but effective touch, Dr. Bartels is great.

Dr. Boehmer is terrific if you're ever in need of any chiropractic service.
On the initial exam, plan to spend a couple of hours there because he does comprehensive x-rays and a complete exam to make sure that you're physically able to have any adjustments made to your neck and spine.
After my first adjustment and the subsequent physical therapy that he offered, I felt immediate relief.
Getting an appointment is usually no problem. He'll stay late if need be to fit you in and has made appointments early if I've had to have an instance where I was in a great deal of pain.

When it was time for my automobile to have the license plates renewed, I had to find a new facility to use and Glen's Auto was recommended to me by a family friend.
It was very easy to get an appointment - the same day actually - and I was told that they schedule appointments either to be while you wait or drop off. I chose to wait.
I observed them giving a very thorough inspection to my vehicle, checking for things that weren't even on the Missouri inspection list. After the mechanic was through the job, he advised me that I had a couple of screws missing from a piece of the exhaust on my vehicle. I was waiting for him to offer to fix it for a large fee, but he advised that I could just go get some of the same screws at an automobile parts store and fix it for less than $1.00 compared to what they would charge.
I was very impressed by their honesty and the swiftness of their service. I'll definitely take my vehicle in if I need any repairs done.

Whenever I'm overwhelmed with books and need to clear out some space, this is my favorite place to take books to trade them in.
They offer a fair trade in value and even though I usually walk out with about the same number of books that I've taken in, with trade in value, I usually come out even.
The atmosphere is my favorite part of The Book House. It's not unusual to see a cat curled up somewhere, people lounging around reading a page or two and just a general relaxed atmosphere.
When I have time to kill and a book urge, I can usually be found here.

When I found myself overrun with books, I went to two used bookstores and this is one of them.
They have a great selection of used books and offer a generous trade in/sale policy and if you're book is in decent condition and not one of the books saturating the market, they'll more than likely be able to make a deal with you.
I've also been to a book reading here, so you can meet authors of some great new books also.

Left Bank Books is a great Independent book dealer and a great place to get any kind of book you could imagine.
Though they focus on political and books "with a message" they can get any book that you'd ever want and/or need. They've got a wide selection of used books available also.
One of the best things about them is that they have a lot of book signings and they are always open to suggestions be it a line of books or who you'd like to have come in and sign.
If you're ever in the Central West End or if you're looking for a great way to spend some time, go here.
