Editorial Review for Wacko – by Stephanie L. Smith

In Short
Whether you're in the market for a glow-in-the-dark dashboard saint, Dirty Girl bubble bath or outsider art from the Deep South, this cavernous shop is the place to come. The staff is just as eclectic as the merchandise. Billy Shire oversees the gallery, and staffers will happily help you with everything from the pricey, mixed-media tableaux of Madonna and Child and flirty vintage Chinese posters to va-va-voom girlie cake-toppers and Coop's naughty "devil girl" stickers.

Insider Tips

Parking

There's no lot here, so grab a handful of change and keep your eyes peeled for a meter.

When to Go

Once a month or so, adjoining gallery La Luz de Jesus throws a gala opening that's one hot party. Call the gallery for info.

best toys in town

02/27/2007 Posted by sarapork

The best part about shopping at Wacko is that when I am done I have to run to Home Depot and build another shelf on my wall. The Toys here are the best finds in town.

Pros: best toys; art gallery

Cons: I need more money

Groovy Store

This place is a blast from the past, I could spend hours looking around. It's a real sensory overload and my foavorite place to shop for off the wall stuff.
