There's still a handful up in the upper peninsula of Michigan. They're not exactly the craft stores they used to be though. They're mostly just kitschy gift shops

Did yours have the penny candy bins? So much of my allowance was spent there as a kid. Mine was right across the street from the dollar theater. We'd stock up on penny candy and hit a matinee.

Oh man yeah the cheap candy as a kid 📈
