I wasn’t planning on posting anything until we go home, but….
We had a 30 mile ride yesterday along the Heartland Trail, going from Walker to Park Rapids. As is our custom, we walked through the downtown area when we got into town. Park Rapids is the biggest town we've stayed in thus far, and they had a pretty big business district. They cater to all the people staying along the many nearby lakes.
The first thing you notice is the parking. In addition to angled parking at the curb, there is parallel parking in the middle of the street. That's something you see very little of today.
There was three blocks of stores on both sides, which is a lot for a town of 4,200. We browsed several including the Ben Franklin you see in the picture.
And look what they had… an entire rack filled with packs and sets from the junk wax era. That was definitely a surprise. And no, I didn’t buy any, though I thought about it.
A few stores later we came to this shop. Guess what they had….
More baseball cards! Once again I used some restraint and bought nothing.
What are the odds of finding two stores with baseball cards in a town of 4,200. Whatever they are, I beat them.
I'd love to stumble across all of those boxes. Not sure how cheap those 1990-91 Upper Deck hockey packs were, but if the price was right... I would have bought some.
ReplyDeleteI'd be like a kid in a candy store if there was a place like that near me!
ReplyDeleteOmFleerFaceG $2.50 for 1991 Stadium that be worth getting the whole box especially when Farve RC is them possibly
ReplyDeleteYou took a bike trip back in time
ReplyDeleteGoing by just what's in the pics, I wouldn't have had any trouble not buying anything.
ReplyDeleteAs if the baseball cards stopped showing up over there and the 2 stores just kept what they had haha. Hope you guys had tons of fun on your trip!
