Brick and mortar pen stores… I live near Philadelphia, the 5th largest city in the US.  We have a pen show, but no pen stores.  When I started collecting pens in the late 1980s there were at least two in the city and another in a suburban mall.  Little Rock, I’m jealous.

In the digital age, when emailing, texting and interaction on social media have eclipsed letter-writing and postcards as the predominant forms of written communication, the only thing more old-fashioned than fountain pens is a business that sells them.
