I live within about 4 miles of where I grew up, and for years I saw this building called Scott Colburn: A Western Store. It's been their my entire life, about a mile from my current home. I have driven by this building literally thousands of times. Sometimes I notice it and wonder what's in there. Most times I don't. I assumed to know what was in there, but didn't know for sure.
The other day, my wife and I went out to lunch and had some time to kill before dropping the kids off at day care. We drove past and a 25 year itch needed to be scratched. We turned in with a bit of excitement.. and we were not disappointed. It was everything I could have imagined. an entire 2000 sq ft area of leather cowboy boots. Saddles. $500 cowboy hats. Belt buckles and spurs. The mystique could have been ruined, but all turned out okay.
Does anyone else have one of those businesses by their house that they never have gone into, or finally went into recently?

ok, ok, I do admit to always wondering what goes on in the Christian Science Monitor Reading Room in Boston, but I'd never go in there, man- religion scares me
Those little Hispanic grocery stores. They both frighten and intrigue me.
I feel the same way. I went in one while in college with an acquaintance whose family ran it. He gave me some kind of drink that was very good. I'm not sure i'd be comfortable going in one by myself.

there's this bar a block away from my house, fully stocked, and usually with a few lights on at night, but no one's ever in there, not even a bartender. it creeps me out.
