What's all this I keep hearing about Michael's? I take it's a store in America?

It's a chain of sewing, arts & crafts supplies stores with numerous locations in the "mid-atlantic" States. They're quite common in Maryland and Virginia, but not as common as Wal*Mart. Their clientele is mostly middle aged women and schoolchildren. And the odd occasional Bustard.

Michaels is a national chain. I think they have stores in Canada as well. Check www.Michaels.com.

We have several Michaels stores out here in the Phonix area as well. They may be nationwide by now.
