A: Overpriced compared to most other department stores, but they offered us a great deal on air conditioner installation (wall-style). The process to actually get it installed was incredibly frustrating though. It took about 10 calls to people who kept transferring us back and forth to get the whole process sorted out. We had to pay someone $50 to come out and measure the hole in the wall that was already there. We were able to go out and buy the AC unit from another retailer as per Sears' communications, but this created a lot of confusion for the installation process. At once point, the Sears representative was confused about "how does Sears get paid to install someone else's equipment"? Well, that is what the fees for installation were for :-) Overall, it took extended effort to get the people of Sears to understand what we were asking for, but eventually they came through. The unit was installed for thousands less than anywhere else, but the value came at the price of aggravation for having to deal with the people on the phone...

A: Had early dinner on 7.3.14. The place was surprisingly busy but was very well staffed. Got seated right away inside at a small table for the 2 of us. Service was really good. Got waters poured, server greeted us quickly and gave us the rundown of the restaurant. Ordered a couple draft beers and they were ice cold! :) The food is meant to be shared. I feel it is Tapas style with Mexican flare. Traditional style guacamole was excellent. Ordered a trio of salsas and they were very good as well. For the main course we had swordfish and ongo veggie tacos. You get 4 small street tacos per order. They were both extremely good and definitely different than a traditional style Mexican restaurant. A little pricey but the food atmosphere and service were all excellent. Also they did have happy hours prices and deals but you had to sit in the bar area. The only negative was the tables were small and we sat very close to others. One side was a bench seat and the other a chair. We literally had conversations with both tables around us because it was like we were all eating together. :(

A: I took a 1938 Kalamazoo Gibson guitar to Pawn Stars. The tv celebrities no longer work the counters. I got a bonehead that could only work by using a catalog. The catalog couldn't find my guitar. Probably because it's very rare, and old. They sent me to Cowtown Guitars that had just moved, and were closed for the week. What a total waste of time. It was clear that they were only worried about commission, and instead, I went back home with my guitar. As far as the store goes, it's packed with looky loos, and 2 counters worth of stuff really means this is just a simple pawn shop.

Q: negative

A:
Pretty much echoing the same gripes as the other reviewers. Parking was horrid. Getting in was alright as we got there before the festival opened. Getting out was another thing all together. I drive a tall SUV, so after sitting in a line for 10 minues, I decided to off-road it to get out. The balloons were all handing out cheap candy. And the ones that werent, or werent out of candy, had lines that were very long. All in all, there wasnt a lot for kids to do - Radio Disney booth aside. The only positives were - 1) a friend of ours had her vendor booth set up there. So we got to see her. 2) I purchased a Groupon for 2-4-1 admission. Thank goodness. I dont think that I would have been happy paying full price. This year, I was going to buy another groupon/living social deal. BUT they originally only had the deals for Friday. Then they opened up the option for Saturday for Groupon only, with ticket sales being limited. By the time i went to buy the saturday groupon, it was already sold out. Guess we'll be going to Howl-O-Ween at the Phx Zoo this year instead. I have a feeling our money will be money well spent at the zoo.
