What did this place sell? Was it all just those things you have to cross your eyes to see a boat or was it more like a magic shop too?

All they had was the cross-eye art in books and on posters or maybe on mugs too. It was the most specific store I ever saw at the mall and probably the dumbest. It was out of business by the time Mallrats came out, too, so they couldn't even take advantage of a movie tie-in.

Western Mass had those hippy-weirdo-headshop boutiques called Faces, one in Amherst and one in Northampton. The Amherst one was in a former bowling alley behind a gas station and decorated its front facade with enormous weird designs cut out of sheet metal so you could see 'em from the street, which they'd change out for holidays and stuff. It closed in the 90s but the Northampton store, which was more funky than hippy, continued on til 2019.
