37 – Villainous Grounds and Hairball

This episode Mike travels a whole 20 minutes and visits…and no exaggeration…the most beautiful comic shop he’s ever seen. See for yourself in the Facebook post! It’s Villainous Grounds in Perryville, MO, and upon entering the 140-year-old building in the historic Perryville town square, you will feel right at home at the coffee bar, at a table in the nook, or in the second floor Mad Hatter’s Room. And if this isn’t enough, Villainous Grounds has for six years co-hosted the “Heroes for Kids Comic Con,” raising more than $11,000 for regional and local organizations each year for the past two years. It’s not local bias that has Mike raving about Villainous Grounds…every bit of the praise is well-earned. And the owners, David and Mary Jo, are absolutely inspiring! If you ever get the chance, you will be as amazed as Mike at the atmosphere and customer service at Villainous Grounds, one of the few comic shops where you can get a caffeinated beverage of your choice at the same time as you buy your comics. Mike is joined by the one and only Clinton of the Coffee and Comics Podcast. I mean the choice in cohost made itself. Find and follow Villainous Grounds at https://villainousgrounds.com, as well as on Facebook and Instagram. You can contact them at (573) 605-1333, or better yet, visit them at 26 N Jackson St, Perryville, MO, United States, 63775.
