You know what I kinda miss? Ben Franklin stores.

Posted by ReluctantCynic (aka ReluctantCynic) Apr 17 '22, 17:10

Or is that a Mandela Effect? Did any other STers grow up with a neighborhood Ben Franklin store?

Sounds/looks equivalent to Michaels in Canada. Closest Ben Franklin to Portland seems to be near Puyallup. -- nm - Beryllium Apr 17, 17:36 2
