I was driving from LaGrange to Burr Ridge mall when I realized I was passing a strip mall that used to have a bird food store that had closed down years ago. So I thought I'd drive through the parking lot and discovered a sort of old fashioned penny candy store. They had several things I grew up with such as Mary Janes, Pixy sticks, candy necklaces, and cotton candy, and various other candies including milk chocolate, dark chocolate, and white chocolate. This store is not perfect but I had a lot of good memories as I perused the shelves and gave into some of temptations. I also learned about the different grades of popcorn kernels that cause some to look like a snow ball. I do plan on going back another time and maybe I'll send some of the candy necklaces to my daughter who went to COD, and UNLV. She gets homesick for the Midwest and this will cheer her up till she moves back. read more
