Hypothetically, if I open my Neighborhood Center/General Store, here's what I would I fill it with:
Picture
My main counter will be a giant stack of used books, cheap one, of course.
Picture
some tasteful paintings, this one by Liu Kang, a famous Singaporean artist.
Picture
Who doesn't love Smiggles!!! Cool, fun and trendy stationery for the kiddies and adults.
Picture
My husband suggested limited edition paints, this one has super gorgeous colors by Guggenheim. Yumm!
Picture
Comics and books for kids & adults, not the Periplus materials, something way cooler.
Picture
Great coffee that are not costly. Coffee is for the masses, should not cost a bundle.
