What business that has closed do you miss the most from your hometown and why?
Answered by:
I miss the fine arts supply store in Kalamazoo, MI. Because I was just visiting during the summers, I don't recall the name of it, but it was where I could purchase quality watercolor papers, quality watercolors and acrylics, and all the mediums that go with them, plus fine brushes. As an artist, I like to touch and feel the products I am going to purchase. I would give anything to have another fine arts materials store closer than Detroit or Chicago, or on the Internet, for that matter. While I do order products online -- particularly after I've tried them and know that they work, I still prefer to shop in person at a brick-and-mortar store.
I also miss the Village Store in Richland, MI, which was chock-a-block full of gift items, jewelry, cards. One could always find just the right gift for an occasion.
