Founded in 1947 as "Notions, Import Toys, Stationery, General Mdse," this place is a one-stop trip back in time. – – The Goods – Specializing in toys that promote learning, creativity, and exercise, the selection features a huge Lego collection, from Duplo (the big ones) to the Classic series. Board games include checkers, bingo and chinese checkers along with brain games like maze books, Mad Libs, 3-D puzzles and Yes & Know books.…
