This is the place to go for that something you need around the house that big box doesnt carry without the crowds. That ole time store that most of us miss where they know your name within first couple of visits. They layaway. If they dont have it they will be more than happy to order it. Always a smiling face. In winter they have a great variety of sleds. Price was better than walmarts. Summer annuals and perennials. They have tools to linens. That beautiful red radio flyer wagon for the kiddos sitting in the window is the usual reminder its Christmas. Decor for every holiday. Good spice rack with the best prices you will ever find. Huge selection of cards. Spring i usually swing in to melvins to pick up a gift for a friend or family member with a windchime or bird feeder.

Parking in back near restaurant, library and antique shops! Candy, gifts, clothing, spices, baking dishes, hardware, silk flowers, sewing, make keys, $1 items, cards, collectables,...
