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.
