I am the same. Anytime I travel, I look for LQS. I have yet to visit City Quilter in NYC but have put their address and business hours in my Iphone as I have to travel there 3 or 4 times a year.
Last year when I visited my old home town in Vacaville, CA, I discovered 'A Quilted Heart' and loved the staff and selection of fabrics. I lived in Vacaville for about 15 years and never knew of it's existance... I was too busy raising 2 boyscouts who also played every sport imagineable...
Having recently moved to Maine and taking quilting back up after 30 years, I have found many wonderful LQS.
