In a different era, the words “geek” and “nerd” were derogatory terms of a sort. These days, they are a certain subset of “cool”. When we tune into Krue.tv <\/a>to watch Nathan<\/a> live-stream, these superlatives pop up often as he or his fan community describe each other.<\/p>\n

Yesterday, at our youngest son Daniel’s request, we stopped in to check out 2nd & Charles<\/strong><\/a>. I had heard it was some sort of used book store, but what we found was way more fun and exciting. This enormous marketplace is a brilliant combination of new and used, and the inventory includes books, music, movies, gaming accessories, memorabilia – for all ages and every possible nerdy or geeky bent.\"IMG_8630\"<\/a>\"IMG_8640\"<\/a>\"IMG_8641\"<\/a>\"IMG_8645\"<\/a>\"IMG_8647\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Even their quotes around the store and on their website made me want to hug the clerks when leaving the store…seriously. Embarrassing, but true.<\/p>\n

It’s not old. It’s vintage.<\/strong><\/p>\n

It’s not used. It’s pre-loved.\"IMG_8639\"<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

Daniel and I stayed awhile scoping out the books and memorabilia (me) and music (him). He was so enthralled that we’re heading back there today with a box of his books, DVDs, and CDs to see how the trade\/sell system works and to shop some more.\"IMG_8653\"<\/a><\/p>\n

To be honest…I was also enthralled. This takes Christmas shopping to a whole new level.<\/p>\n

The following disclaimer from another blogger<\/a>‘s review also works for me:<\/p>\n

** I’m in no way affiliated with\u00a02nd & Charles<\/strong>.\u00a0All opinions are my own. I’m way too opinionated to have it any other way.<\/p>\n

Postscript: Nathan<\/a>, you’re going to love this store. Save your tips.\"IMG_8654\"<\/a><\/p>\n
