Damaquilts, I wish you would put in a good word for all of the rest of us and suggest that perhaps your Ace/Ben Franklin, expand and move to some other states and do the same as they have done there. I think they could certainly stay in business. After our Walmart starting their ""remodeling"" really a great big mess and nothing better, just moved the fabric and jewelery dept. out, can't even get a watch battery now. As I stated before about all the area ones closing around us, and the nearest lqs is over 100 miles from us. We are way out in West Texas.
