Some things will remain eternal,
such as this: No matter hold old a
person is, one will always love toys.
Erie, unfortunately, isn't a city that
is equipped with ample toy stores. This
means less fun, but there is one toy
store that never lets its shoppers down.
Toys R Us is located at 1920
Edinboro Road, outside of the
Millcreek Mall. It’s Erie’s largest toy
store and has nearly anything a toy
lover could want, including video
games, action figures, stuffed animals,
and much, much more.
What’s eool about Toys R Us? For
one. a person can play with the toys
without having to buy them. How cool
is that’?'. It’s like being in a huge toy
Not long ago, a friend of mine and I went to the town fair. Shortly after arriving, we saw a tent with a sign that read,
■ entered.
| An t.lil gvpsv woman sat behind a table and motioned us to come forward We sat down and she asked for my friend’s hand. She took his hand and
I began tracing the lines on his palm.
" fins." she said, “Is \our love line.”
I She pointed to a short line on his hand. My friend swore.
| She pointed to another spot, saying, “This is your luck line.’ Sadly, the luck line was even shorter than his love line.
| I lie woman chose another line and traeed her linger along it; however, the line was very, very long. It trailed off my friend’s hand and up his arm,
. where it disappeared under his shirt.
I I'he woman began laughing hysterically at my friend, her eyes filling with tears.
My friend asked. “What's so funny? Is that my health line?"
"No.” the woman said, laughing, “That’s your ‘self-love' line!”
n-ditor in t hief’s note Wait. Karl. I thought you went to the fair alone'.’ You didn't go with a friend! This happened to you, not your friend! Ha ha

chest! One can throw footballs in the
aisles or play video games for hours.
Another cool aspect of Toys R Us is
its sales. Toys come and go very
quickly, so when the store has to make
way for new products, it holds crazy
sales where individuals can purchase
items on clearance for a good price.
Sometimes one can find some really
nice stuff.
For those individuals who aren’t into
leaving their place of residence to
shop, one can buy toys online at
www.toysrus.com. Can it get any
easier?
Cool toys and fun times surely go
hand in hand, making Toys R Us a
definite Hot Spot in Erie.
