Your cashier asked him to leave because of a shirt of his and the meaning behind the band name and I'm absolutley appalled a book store , a source of knowledge , would turn someone away because of that.
Probably my favorite bookstore yet! Go straight to the back for the zines , there's some radical stuff in there!
Quite small, but cozy bookstore . Find the nook and sit and read for a little bit.
Take your time browsing , reading a book , and checking in on staff recommendations.
Great for non-fiction, some children's books in the back.
The place to go if you're looking for counterculture books . Polite staff , though!
good anarchist selection-yet to see elsewhere.
Be prepared to be asked to leave if someone working doesnt like your shirt that has no profanity on it and only references a band.
Serious collection of books
Check out the zine rack. Lots of Mpls authors/artists.
Browse the zines . Buy something written by a local writer for less than 5 bucks.
Many Seattle neighborhood maps to choose from including these. - Metsker Maps

You could literally spend hours here. The BBQ beef bowl was a highlight from Pike Pit and the mac n cheese from Beechers homemade cheese is a must. - Rachael Pearson
