The Ideal Holiday Place to Shop

by fredinaustin

Hassle free parking in City Hall makes it easy to get into Area, but getting out without wanting to buy everything in the store is the hard part. Area has something for all of your senses. Sound: great every day and holiday CD's, Smell: imported soaps and scented oils, Sight: beautiful frames, vases, coffee table books, etc. etc. Touch: amazing antique furniture mixed in with some great modern pieces. Taste: Even those challenged in this area can't go wrong with the outstanding and helpful staff. 2nd Street is a great place to spend a day and Area is a can't miss stop.

• Pros: Something for every budget can be found there
• Cons: Some items skew towards the high end from a pricing standpoint
