My best friend in grade school's father actually managed and later owned this Ben Franklin store. I have such great memories of it as a child, it was such a shame when they closed the store. I was too young to actually appreciate the huge craft section in the basement and now it is gone!
I live only a few minutes away from here! I love the Englewood stores, but they all have terrible hours!
I am realy excited for the reopening of the theater because it has been closed for years!
thank you so much for stopping by & leaving a comment - they totally make my day! I try to answer questions but unless you have setup your profile to provide your email, or included it in your comment I won't be able to reply to you directly, so I will leave it in the comments :)
I haven't seen a Ben Franklin in AGES!!!
ReplyDeleteI can see this sign and still smell BF: a mix of the candy counter, popcorn, dusting powder . . .
