More shops added to the Google Map of Recommended D56 Shops

The following shops were recommended to me and I've added them to the Google map of D56 Shops:

Grapevine Gifts, Lake Jackson, TX
"It's not exactly in the Midwest, but it's my local shop (whom I adore!). The owners are Ronnie Martin and Jeff Rae. Jeff is the one mainly that deals with Dept. 56. They are a gold key dealer and are SUPER nice and knowledgeable. All retired pieces are routinely 20% off. They are about to build a new, 8,000 square foot store. Not too bad
for small-town South Texas!"

North Pole Village, Oklahoma City, Ok
City Lights, San Diego, CA
"These are a couple of shops you may want to consider for this site. North Pole Village is happy to ship. City Lights ships free, not sure if there is a minimum.
And they have some really neat displays all year round."

States without recommended shops:
Wyoming
Utah
Colorado
New Mexico
Arizona
Nevada
South Dakota
North Dakota
Nebraska
Iowa
Florida

But for Lorraine, president of the Tri-County Department 56 Collector’s Club, the displays are nothing out of the ordinary, considering many of the club members have similar displays in their own homes. “Everybody has different ways of displaying it,” Lorraine said of the Department 56 collectibles. “You find different things. When somebody comes up with a unique idea, you try and share it. It’s always nice to see somebody do something different.” ... click here to read the rest of the article

Rest in Peace, Stan

A dark cloud formed over Manhattan yesterday, and just as suddenly, a bright light shine through the clouds as the sky was ripped from the inside out by thousands of legendary heroes, assembling to pay homage to their Creator and his aged typewriter. As each keystroke landed with a thud, the letters screamed out as loudly as they could, "Excelsior!”, one last time. https://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/stan-lee-photos-marvel-comics_us_5be9e7d9e4b044bbb1a77969
