Ken, was that Jeff Kline’s music store? Sure sounds like it. He’s a great musician as well.
And before Jeff Kline was his parent's store, just named Klines, on Bridge Street in Lambertville.
As a kid, big shopping centers were still coming in and you needed a local toy store, and Kline's was it.
Glued together a lot of Aurora plastic models that came from Klines. What a fun place to walk around
I never knew the son.
Klines was always jam packed with inventory, narrow aisles, lots of glass cases with all those little metal cars in them.
And stacks and stacks of Lionel trains. Best use of a 4x8 piece of plywood was to hold your train layout.
Reminds me of another old Lambertville store, Finkles, a plumbing store which is still run by the next gen. Another crowded aisle place, 1/16th inch layer of dust
over everything. I haven't been in there in years, probably cleaner now with daughter running the place.
I'm off to Kohls to return an Amazon headphone, those Sony ones I mentioned earlier. I bought it two days before Prime Day and price dropped over 40 percent.
So they won't pay for me to send it back since I honestly checked the block saying
better price elsewhere, I can't use local UPS but instead Kohl's dropoff is free.
Just a bit of a drive.
Replacement headphone ordered at much lower price. I want one to keep in the car and one for the lawn mower. Plus always wanted to see if spending more on Sony
noise reduction was worth it. The Cowin a few of us have works pretty well and I think is a bargain for the price.
little dark green hummingbird with a red head just came for a long visit. Rain is coming in a few hours and the temps not going up much at all today. Cooler weather from
the North is settling in for a few days and .10 rain last night as front went through.
