It's a Party...at Party City!
many years ago, through word-of-mouth by my children's friends..we found out about the Carmel Mtn. Party City, of San Diego.
the store is very well organized, mostly by themes.. anywhere from princess/pirates to football/wild animals.
most of the employees are pretty young, high-school..early college, but I can't remember ever having a serious problem with any of them, just friendly service.
good prices too.. even at Halloween!
