Sears Shoe Repair (3/5) on Yelp

Quizno's (3/5) on Yelp
This Quizno’s is so hit or miss that I would recommend you just skip it; it’s not worth the risk. The service is friendly, but the sandwiches at this location taste like the ghost of lyposuction’s…

Norm Maxwell Studio Gallery (4/5) on Yelp
Geez…the reviews on this gallery all over the place. I’m not sure what Paul’s business about finger-biting means, and I can neither confirm nor deny. However, based on my experiences, he’s very…
