I was looking for a couple of particular items and thought Common Crow on Eastern Ave might be the place to look. It’s always a treat in there and I am always surprised to take note of the extent of what’s available there. The staff is plentiful and helpful and the inventory is always presented in an eye pleasing way. And this time of year is perfect for their marketing!
