The Comic Book Box is a fresh, bright change from traditional comic book specialty shops. Natural light spills in…More from the front windows and shows off widely-spaced, tidy racks and shelves of comics, graphic novels, games and action figures. A children's section is prominently located near the front of the store. It is owner Kathy Bottarina's mission to provide a personalized, safe and friendly experience to comic book fans (casual and serious) in her hidden gem of a shop. Tucked in an inner courtyard near Rotten Robbies on Southwest Boulevard, The Comic Book Box is woman and child friendly, setting it apart from the usual pin-up images and beyond PG-13 displays seen in other shops.</p> <p>Kathy believes that comics are a great way to get kids to start reading and keep reading. Her friendly face breaks into a smile as she describes the challenge of getting to know a customer's likes and dislikes, even what movies, books and cities they enjoy before recommending a product. She knows that happy customers are return customers, but more than that , she loves her product, and cares about offering a great experience.</p>

In the summer of 2010, Glenn Meyer and his experienced crew took over the old Jiffy Lube location on the corner of…More Southwest Boulevard and Snyder. Many of the technicians made the move, so neighborhood clients get the continuity of staffers that know them and their vehicles. Mobile 1 Lube Express has three large, organized, immaculately clean drive-through bays for drop-in or by-appointment services. Along with standard lube, oil and filter services, Glenn, Joey, Curt and the rest of the pros will check transmission, brake, radiator and power steering fluids. A range of other car-care options are listed on an easy-to-read sign at the counter.</p> <p>The waiting room is tidy and open, sporting coffee, flat screen television, soda machine and clean restrooms. Customer service and convenience are clearly a priority, and it shows in every detail here. A+ Smog Test Only is located in the fourth bay at this location and is staffed by the Mobile 1 technicians.</p>
