Independent Toy Stores in Cincinnati, OH?

Post by Apex »

I am going to be in Cincy for a couple of days between Christmas and New Years. Do any of you fine Ohio based folks have any ideas for independent toy stores in Cincy? I have been told to check out King Arthur's and Blue Manatee while I am there. Any other suggestions?
Thanks,
Alex

King Arthur's is the only one I've been to. I think there's one not far from there called Boardwalk. I think it's more of a game store than toy shop. There's also several hobby shops, but the ones I know are gears towards R/C toys and table top gaming.

I'm not much for shopping so I can't help with stores to check out. However, I'd like to point out that the University of Cincinnati is just about 6 miles away from King Arthur's Court toy store on the same street (Madison becomes MLK). You are welcome to visit us (or maybe just me depending on the day) at the physics department. I suspect Mike is rather busy that time of year but maybe he could sneak away for a quick visit to have some spinning fun in the basement.

I will be up there the 29th and 30th. I am staying with friends for a couple of days so I don't know what their plans are yet, but I would love to stop in and check out the physics department for a little bit. John, will you be around those days?

I will be here! :) Mike (and Joe), is it too early to recognize an opening in your schedule for either of those days?

John, I will message you when I get closer to the days I will be up there. I won't have a lot of time but I would love to hang out for an hour or two.

Mike, Apex is planing for two weeks from today which is after Christmas. I'll be sure to keep you informed when times get more definite.
