Collectibles

I'm sitting here at 204, right across from CHL Hospital. It's a busy spot, mostly because of the constant hospital traffic. People come in and out all day. Some are just looking to pass some time while they wait for a relative or an appointment. We've got a lot of stuff piled up here. It’s not always organized the way people expect, but we know where everything is. The shop is called Collectibles, which covers a lot of ground. It's mostly just things we've picked up or decided to stock over the years. Sometimes the dust gets a bit much, especially on the top shelves, but that's just part of running a place like this. We don't have a big staff, just a couple of us here making sure things run. The hospital across the street means there’s always an ambulance siren or someone looking for a quick distraction. We open early most days and stay until the evening lights come on. It isn't a fancy showroom with bright lights and glass cases. It’s more of a place where you can find things you didn't know you needed. We spend a lot of time talking to the regulars who live around here. Sometimes we just sit and watch the cars go by. It’s a steady life. We don't do much advertising because people usually just find us by walking past. The address is easy to find if you know the hospital. We've been in this spot for a good while.
