Did anyone miss Spurgeons?
I remember it as one of the stores my mother used to frequent. But we moved from that town before I had a chance to experience shopping there much.
I remember Spurgeons. They had fabric and the best needlework. I think when the towns started building malls, and the big stores went there that's when they quit having fabric and needlework. They wanted to get out of just the working class sales.
