Kris Rose told Tulsa World that Bound for Glory Books, which she co-owns, "is part of 'Nerd Row,' a collection of unique shops located west of the 11th Street and Yale Avenue intersection." Her neighbors include "a gaming store (Dice Addiction), a toy store (All Star Toys), a comic store (Mammoth Comics) and a store (Good Mischief) that offers weird resale items."
"The first time I heard the term was after I had already moved in, when I met Good Mischief owner Michael Easter," Rose said. "He welcomed me to Nerd Row, and we started laughing about how apt the name was for our little strip of shops. If you like one of the stores on our strip, chances are you'll also like another store as well, if not all of them. We definitely cater to different breeds of nerds: Sci-fi nerds. VHS horror movie nerds. Vinyl nerds. Indie movie nerds. 1960s underground comics nerds. Feminist nerds. UFO nerds. Art nerds. You name it.... We look out for each other and drop in and chat, have a drink, buy something now and then, (and) talk shop. It's very cozy."
