Bacon strip bandaids.
Why not?

I bought the aforementioned silly gift for my carnivorous brother as well as a nice electrostatic hair-attracting brush for my favorite pup. I can attest to the fact that my dog absolutely adored this new object.

Why are there color photos of ballerinas hanging on the wall beyond the cash register?
I have no idea, but I dig the unexplained.

I get sent over here whenever we run out of some random vegetable item at my workplace, and have thus become briefly…More »

  Update - 8/6/2009

Make no mistake - I still have love for Crossroads and its employees. The new location appears to have more clothing, though it seems that the result = seeing some more of the same things when I shop here (and I do visit often).  I like when…More »

So, I pretty much come here multiple times per week now. In fact, I'm writing from Pluto's right now, stolen wifi courtesy of Crepevine across the street (thanks Crepevine!).

I'm crazy about the salads. I know that I could just buy the ingredients at…More »

I'm already a fan of the Castro location, so it wasn't difficult for Irving to win me over. I'm actually quite surprised by the amount of poor reviews - I've always come out of here happy. It's become post-Zumba workout tradition to get a garden…More »

So I usually wouldn't go out of my way to review a friggin liquor store, but I'm lame and getting a bottle of soda for $1.25 instead of 1.seventysomething and gum for $1 rather than 1.19/29/whatever makes me EXCITED.

Other than that, this place is…More »

Meh.

I hadn't been to the Academy yet since its reopening, so I was actually really excited about the prospect of only paying $10 + no children.  Also, this was "space night", so my buds and I ditched out Exploratorium Thursday night plans and went…More »

This was a serious risk. I was desperate for an inexpensive cut, so when I saw their $25 sign, I trotted in without my any previous Yelp research. (If I'd seen its lousy 2 stars on here, I would have never gone near this place.) As someone who cut my…More »

Let it be known that, despite the suggestive name, this is not a running supply store. It's solely (har har) a shoe store. They definitely have a ton of running shoes though (and a myriad of other kinds), but other than that you'll only find socks,…More »

Hmm...perhaps this was an off day for P.P. I probably would never have gone in here if not for the memory of a good Yelp review and seeing the nutritional facts visibly posted on their window. 280 calories, 8g of fat, and 15g of protein (for the…More »

Ok - maybe rating a business whose food you've never actually consumed isn't fair - but I'm just not really a dessert person (other than the free fro yo that my low-paying job provides). I'm still a customer and have been here multiple times to sit…More »
