I absolutely love visiting this business when traveling through the area. I love it so much that I order my olive oil and balsamic on-line when not able to make a trip in. The staff and owners are very polite, helpful and so knowledgeable. They take their time to help you with a selection based on your needs and don't just try to push something on you. Every item is good quality so you can't go wrong. The available samples are a plus because there's always something new to try. My all time favorite is cold pressed garlic fused EVOO. I tried and bought the BC stuffed olives along with my last purchase, and OMG they are soooo yummy. You won't be disappointed in this business, products, or staff!

We offer quality family entertainment in the form of live action actor-led adventure games and interactive mystery dinner theatres. We promote family and friend interactions and challenge the mind with unique puzzles. Relationships are enhanced through communication and collaboration as the story progresses. We love that we can bring joy and laughter to our customers. We are presently performing dinner theatres at our brand new location, Mystery Manor, 132 Chapel St. Johnson City (former Gray Funeral Home near the Gray fairgrounds). Our escape adventures are still located at 2501 W Market St until we can build out escape rooms at the manor. At that point, we will have both in one awesome location.

My friends and I have done the Dr. Jekyll room and Excalibur at Perplexodus and both were fantastic! I’ve done over 30 escape rooms and Excalibur was one of my favorites. The rooms are a ton of fun and the staff is super friendly! The gamemasters being live-actors is unique and a really fun aspect you won’t find at other rooms. 10/10 would recommend!

Family went up to Johnson City for another escape room adventure. Rooms were tough and challenging but extremely well done. Themed very well and true to source material. We have done a number of escape rooms and these are top tier. We will be going back for the rest.

The Railroad museum is located on the ETSU campus. 176 Ross Dr is the address I found and successfully navigated to. There are a couple signs on campus and a railroad marker in front of the building. The hours are narrow (Sat 10a-3p) so be aware of that before visiting. When I showed up, there was a sign on the door saying they were temporarily closed. I was disappointed, but saw a family come out. So I went in to find the museum with the doors open for business! The museum is split over two rooms. One is a model railroad for a line that runs from Johnson City to Boone. There is an abundance of realistic detail here. You will find historic photos along the display that match the models almost exactly. There are stools throughout to give you a boosted view of the layout. The other side is a mixture of locations and is a larger room. You'll see some incredibly long trains here running around the building. You will find several volunteers working on the display and able to answer questions if you have any. This is a meticulously cared for Railroad Museum. With no charge to enter (donations accepted), there is no reason not to see this wonderful handiwork.

While a typical library, books on the shelf, digital media, etc., it also hosts a reading program for children, several programs for adults, and an excellent e-book section. There are several computers for use with free access to the internet and a link to Ancestry for those researching their family. There are several areas with easy chairs for delving into the latest novel or simply sitting and relaxing.

It’s in a really good location downtown right off I-26. They have a big selection that covers just about every type of drink. Eric the owner came to my table and introduced himself during a busy rush they were having. I highly recommend this brewery to anyone visiting town.
