I just opened this page and my son, who LOVES monkeys, saw “$200” and the Curious George and said, “Holy cow, Mom, does that Curious George cost $200!?” What a great giveaway to an AWESOME store! This would really come in handy, especially after getting blindsided by a layoff three weeks ago…

O’Doodles is a must see place to stop and shop on Germantown Avenue in Chestnut Hill during December. Stag and Doe Wednesday nights come to life when examining the latest erudite child toys that are really set out to entertain and amuse the adults. They have tried several different formats, as they compete with other shops on the Avenue.They had great christmas cards for a while. One must really give them credit for trying to anticipate the needs of the public and offer what they will buy.
December 3rd, 2010 at 9:52 pm
Always looking for new and different gifts for my twin grands. This is the place!
December 3rd, 2010 at 11:12 pm
