Qualified Perceptions

They didn't always have a second floor; that's since you left the area. They're sort of cool, but they've gone down hill a bit - stuff often out of stock, help hard to find (I suppose the staff has always been a bit cavalier). Another art store opened up right across the street, on a basement level, and while their selection is not quite so vast, their prices are quite good in general, and the staff is a bit friendlier. I often hit them both when I make it over there before closing. :)
