My boyfriend and I are very familiar with this particular Michaels craft store. It's at the waterfront in Pittsburgh. Which is our favorite place to shop when we're in Pittsburgh because it's so convenient everything's right where you need it to be but then walking distance there's a ross, t.j Maxx, Lowe's.
