75. There is a Michael's and a JoAnn Fabric

Sun Jul 4, 2021, 05:45 PM

Jul 2021

i my community, plus a few small, locally owned craft and fabric stores. No Hobby Lobby, fortunately, and not likely to be one because the market here would not sustain another store of this type.

But I would never go near one if there was one here, or in any other community where I might shop.

Hope they all go out of business.
