    My Pepere's family was very into bicycles - particularly Schwinn bikes. My great uncle owned a bike and toy store in New Hampshire known as the Toy Castle and people would come to buy there from all across the state. My Uncle Conrad started it in my great grandparent's house. I remember going there once a year and getting to pick out one toy for free. It was a very tough decision and my uncle always got impatient with me because i took so long. We always had Schwinn's though!

      I'm from a small town down state called Hinsdale... It's right in the southwest corner of the state. Thanks for sharing!
