Eight years in a row for Strange Adventures. Balou the dog is still around. Owner Calum Johnston says, “We enjoy what we do. We have a great selection and knowledge we try to share.” There’s no hard sell at Strange Adventures. Johnston’s job, as he sees it, is to get you in the door and give you suggestions if you want them. “After that,” he says, “the work will speak for itself.” 5262 Sackville, 425-2140,
