The Rage Store

Hole in the wall headshop. Full of «character» for folks like me who’ve never stepped into a place like this.
Well stocked with water pipes and smoking apparatuses. I came in with my man looking for incense, but noted with dismay they had only a super tiny selection. That’s okay, they had our Nag Champa. Note: minimum credit card purchase $ 5.
No evidence of tattoo or piercing equipment as advertised in the store windows – I didn’t venture ask about these services. Did I mention the shelves were mostly empty, dusty, and cricket-​infested? Okay, maybe I saw just one cricket – but that one was enough. An adult comic stand looked sorely out place, simply because there were no comic books to peruse. I didn’t even bother to check out their poster collection.
What seemed far too interesting was the collection of medieval and fantasy weaponry on display and for sale. Broadsword? Check. Katana sword set? Check. Lochaber War Axe? Check.
The Rage Store anchors a small aging strip mall that clearly has seen better days. Given the kind of traffic one expects of a headshop, maybe it’s fitting.
