It's not an expensive shop. Henna kits go for around $16. Jewelry starts at $10. Different prices for different objects, but definitely affordable. Leave a Comment Theme: OtherAddress: 257 N LimestonePhone: (859) 255-5301Directions: next door to the Atomic Cafe

Yes, it is a bookstore. And yes, it is huge. A lot of people are divided between JoBeth and Barnes and Noble, but I definitely prefer the former. It takes up most of what used to be the Lexington Green Mall (well, it’s still called that but the store bought out the entire atrium area) and extends over two levels. The host author events and readings on a regular basis and also have a nice café that serves café style food as well as regular meals. They recently added al fresco dining as well. The bookstore is littered with comfy chairs and reading areas and they don’t mind if you stick around all day. On the bottom floor they have a really nice travel section, although like most Kentucky stores the books cater to people who are either going to Italy, England, or Ireland. They also have a travel agency and some good travel items like earplugs, journals, and maps.
On the top floor you can find other interesting items scattered throughout the floor like bubble bath, magnets, and assorted Kentucky crafts. They have a really nice local section. (You can find my book there!) In the local section they also carry local photography and stuff.
In a separate room they have a really good CD selection, as well as DVDs.
If you don’t want to eat in the café there is a Ruby Tuesdays downstairs and a really good seafood place called Regatta. Leave a Comment

I originally went to Sqecial Media for candles, incense, and stones. (Don’t ask.) I had always been a little intimidated by it because whenever I drove past I would see odd looking people standing outside. Well, after finally venturing in I was really impressed. Yes, they have many New Age items and shelves and shelves of incense and candles, but they also have a lot of other things. Their New Age and alternative religion book selection is really outstanding and they also have a good selection of used books for very low prices. It also works as a gift shop and you can find funny little trinkets for hard to please people, as well as international gifts such as handmade Indian purses and other nice items.
The prices aren’t bad at all and it’s definitely worth going in and having a peek. On a side note, check out their magnets. The person who was with me bought one that said: “I’m sorry I didn’t go to church: I was too busy practicing witchcraft and becoming a lesbian.”
This is off of their website:
"Books new & used: Buddhist, Tao, Zen, Cooking-veg+, Fiction & non, Gay & Lesbian & Thesbian pride, Wiccan, Artcards, Posters, Incense, Jewelry, Indian-Tapestries, Tons-o-Tarot, Crystals-n-Stones, Massage Oils, Essential-Oils, Soap, Doctor-Bronner's, Candles, Postcards, Blank-Journals, Magazines(*** mag, Relix, Ad Busters, High Times, Music mags.. etc), Buttons, Bumperstickers, Kids-Toys, Wooden & Stone Boxes, Bells, Hindu & buddhist Statuary and many other things from around the world."
I have found their items to be quite cheap. Incense starts at about 10 cents a stick and stones around 75 cents. The used books are a great bargain.

 Hamburg Place by Krumlovgirl
Some stores of interest: Kohls, Dick’s Sporting Goods (where I got my backpack), Marshall’s (where I get many things), Barnes and Nobles, Michaels, Meijers, Fashion Shop, Babies R Us, Talbotts, Target, Kirklands…Actually, the list goes on and on. There are quite a few stores.
There are also some good restaurants as well. We mostly eat at Carrabas, Max and Erma’s, and the ice cream place (can’t think of what it’s called at the moment) but there are also some fast food, bars and grills, and steakhouses. You won’t have trouble finding a place.
If you don’t feel like eating or shopping, there is also Regal Cinemas, the largest cinema in Lexington. They have stadium seating and student discounts. Leave a Comment Theme: OtherAddress: Man O' War Blvd.Directions: Off of I-75 take the Man O' War exit

The last great buy I got was an Etienne Aigner purse for $50. I have also found much cheaper things there as well. Leave a Comment Theme: OtherAddress: 1965 Pavillon WayPhone: (859) 543-1545Directions: Located in Hamburg Place on Man o War Blvd.

 Plato's Closet by Krumlovgirl
You can count on spending anywhere between $5-$15 for a shirt, depending on the brand. Jeans go for around $12 on average. Purses are really cheap.

An impressive grouping of major department, discount and retail stores.
If you are in Lexington and on the East side this seems like a wide variety of shops. But there are four enclosed malls in Lexington and other shopping districts
