A Gift Shop Called Home is a Comfort Trip
South Point, OH – One of the best known films of all time was “The Wizard Of Oz” as well as the beloved closing lines that Dorothy spoke when she magically arrived back to her beloved state of Kansas: “Oh Auntie Em, there’s no place like home.”
For most of us, the phrase, no place like home, has become a cliche we use after returning from a vacation, or an extended shopping trip.

There have been updates, a few new roofs have been needed over the years to keep the rain out. The large stately maple tree in front of the house is no longer the small sapling it used to be. The neatly manicured yard, along with the hand crafted wheelbarrows full of bright yellow mums and brightly decorated flags, all provide a hint to the wonders inside.
