That's it. W.O.W.
We may be going to the Dayton OH area in a couple of months... Detroit's only about 3 hours, right?

Kevin that is an amazing collection you have. That is so awesome that you were able to get that building to house all of your stuff in one location. I also love your YouTube videos. I stumbled upon your videos by accident when I was trying to find some YouTube videos on a vintage KitchenAid mixer. After watching your video I wondered if you might be a member here so I started looking through some of your other videos until I found one where you mentioned it. Congratulations on the building that’s awesome !!
Hans! Wanna go? I'll drive! Greg

Kevin and Ralph,
Quite the accomplishment there guy's! We'll try making a day trip up there this summer. I told my sister Elaine, who knows a lot of people who like anything vintage. Her friends ran my folks estate sale, and also know many.

<span style="font-size: 14pt; color: #008000;">I'm sure the new studio warrants a camera to replace Ralph's aging (vintage) Kodak Brownie. Congratulations on your incredible project. </span>

I just “Google Earthed” Croswell Michigan and guess what pops up?
A little snapshot of a Ben Franklin store!

Open House?
I would love to visit if/when you have an open house. I'd love to share my baklava recipe with you.

JOE-
LOL! I did buy a new camera (and lights and microphone) for the kitchen studio. While it isn't quite as old as a Kodak Brownie, you will laugh when you see the camera we have been using all these years. The same one since we started in 2011!
Now whether or not Ralph will be able to figure out how to use the new camera is another story...

Keep us updated on the progress, I'd definitely like to come see it when it's done, only about a 3 hour drive for me!
It's beautiful; like a corner of Heaven!
Your RT70G is the first one I have seen that was not just a picture. I love my RT70. The counters in the kitchen are a beautiful color.
Is your electrical service 240 or 208 volts with your location in the business district?

What a superb way to display your collection.
Congratulations on your wonderful looking "store" and wow what a simply stunning Christmas window. May you enjoy this and many other window displays for years to come and it is such a nice way to share your collection with others who will visit when they are able. You may need to consider buying a local B&B so those from further afield will be able to stop over

This is just awesome Kevin and Ralph. So much hard work at something you love. I love the Christmas windows and all the vintage Christmas, that alone is worth a trip to see.
My Aunt and Uncle lived in Huron Shores in Port Sanilac, and we used to go to Lexington all the time. What a cute town, I've been by that store so many times.

Congratulations Kevin & Ralph
Kevin, I am so excited for you and thank you for sharing your story & photos. I have corresponded with you in the past about how much I enjoy your cooking videos at the cottage. If you ever plan an (event) at your new store I will make it a priority to attend. Take care, Bob....
