Picked up my son for fall break and had a few moments in some local stores…one store where, twenty years earlier, I rented an ancient telephone switchboard for a play I stage managed (also acted and ran the lightboard…dinner theatre on a budget). Rhynes hadn’t changed much – still an eclectic collection…

…beautiful lights and hard-to-find fixtures…

…and quirky, fun pieces…

…Mary’s had everything from letters to buttons and old hardware…

…and architectural pieces, and even vinyl furniture…

There was a whole street to explore and hope to get back to see it, antiques and art galleries and modern stores and all.
