As a bit of an extension of my Google Map this week, I wanted to highlight the local comic book shop that I go to when I need to update my Sonic the Hedgehog collection. Heroes and Dreams is a pretty well-known establishment in the Kenosha area, mostly because of the impressive mural on the side of the building, seen in the image below.
Their website is updated weekly on Mondays to help keep you in the know about when your newest comic is on the shelves. The shop owner is a very talkative guy who I'm convinced could make friends with an alligator: as soon as you walk in the place he'll act as if he's known you all his life.
They also have a dog in the shop as a sort of mascot. Hershey, a beautiful chocolate lab, will become friends just as fast as the owner. Should you ever make a return visit, she'll happily greet you as you enter, remembering you from before.
So if you're new to comics or have one you read regularly, check out Heroes and Dreams if you get the chance. They have all the comics you could want and a friendly atmosphere that makes traveling all the way out to 30th and Roosevelt worth the mileage.
I have driven past it many a time, but have never actually stopped in. I should stop by, see if they have some of the graphic novels I used to read!
