They have some interesting stuff. http://www.bergo.ca/Bergo.html Thu Aug 07 10:38:25 -0700 2008 3937554 11750 fickle 2 3938194 thought about them and will probably drop by soon. they're the most interesting store i've come across so far but might be a little too over the top modern for my practical side.
