When I first moved to Minnesota, I saw that there was a major highway near the Twin Cities called 35E and 35W, except they ran north and south! (A native of the area explained they are called E and W because one goes east of the cities, and the other goes west... Ah, got it.)Junehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02807743649365159492noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4198660701949089916.post-34409167616802203832013-12-20T12:27:46.693-05:002013-12-20T12:27:46.693-05:00Jealousy!

Interesting that you found P&S- it's not an obvious choice. When I work downtown, this is my go-to fabric stop. I find it to be a kind of hit or miss place, but prices are reasonable and its one of the few places in the city that stocks notions.
