just a FYI the location is in forest hills, not rego park. quite far from rego, in fact! just so no one gets lost/confused…

and michaels is good for hobbists, kids, artists, designers,etc.

I think it’s great that TJs is coming to Queens. Just wish it was more convenient via subway, though I know the bus goes there. I hope it won’t be as nuts as the Union Square location, too.

I think people like to be crafty, especially women. They also sell a lot of cake decorating supplies; I bought a great offset spatula there which is perfect for icing cupcakes (I love cupcakes!). There’s also cheap yarn, which is great for those who knit or crochet. They have a ton of other things for all your crafting needs.

I remember reading that knitting was revived shortly after 9-11 and became hugely popular, because it’s a comforting, familiar, stable activity. I wonder if crafting is similar.

Can anyone enlighten me as to why Michaels is a popular store?

Who goes there…and why? I just can’t figure it out. They’re everywhere and I don’t know why.
