I went to a general store but they wouldn't let me buy anything specific - Steven Wright
Welcome to today’s blog in which I wax rhapsodic about stores of Christmas Past.It begins with a spool of thread and where to buy it. There used to be lots of choices. There were local stores dedicated to sundries. Department stores like Sibley’s in Rochester and Hengerer’s in Buffalo all had notions departments. National stores like Woolworth’s, and, to a lesser degree Penney’s were known for sundries. Now we are left monoliths like JoAnn’s and the Evil Empire from Arkansas.
