Me and my mom are pretty much there everyday. Store has been closed for a while now so everybody in the neighborhood is curious about what is inside. My grandpa was a bit of a hoarder and kept everything so I keep finding bits of my childhood and unlocking some forgotten good memories.

I'm glad you have so many good memories!

Why not make a tiktok or YouTube channelbexploring the shop with stories? Make money that wat...everyone loves to explore and find new things with stories.

Bit was about four exits back.

The difference between a hoarder and a collector is, quite obviously, taste.

Edit: I meant to imply that hoarding is the lower level and we hoarders weed our collections to show our taste when we physically run out of room. I don't think my humor landed well. Apologies if it came off... I don't even know, but apparently an /s or something was needed.
