  2. As a fellow Montclair-ian (um, yeah, I just made that up), I have to give thumbs up to these regional posts. I'm still so new and don't know many of the stores. For example I've passed this one tons of times (I only live like 2 blocks away) but have never been inside. Now I must.

  3. I like reading regional posts from other areas. (I live in DC.) Because I love to visit friends in other places, I like to know about local haunts. Keep 'em coming and inspire me to visit!
