My favorite store for nothing and everything is Vlad the Retailer on Melrose, just west of Heliotrope (Wait! Vlad moved to Heliotrope, see below). I'm not saying you should drop by there after Scoops, but really, there needs to be more to do on Heliotrope than Scoops and here is your golden opportunity to break free from the shackles of Brown Bread and Mayor Tai Kim.
I could ramble on about the benefits of Vlad but just go there and see for yourself...Vlad, himself, is uncommonly smart. He'll promise you anything you ask for and you'll most likely never get it but this is the land of false promises and Vlad is one of those business owners who doesn't run away when you ask a stupid question. He has art too...Most of it sucks but some of it is really good. Ask him to show you the soon-to-be-has-been Click Mort. His stuff is so good it hurts.
I love you Vlad.
