It’s been there my entire life and and has evolved over the years from a “smoke shop” at one point to a place for books and gifts. As a kid, I used to buy plastic car and airplane model kits there. It was one of my favourite stores in town largely for that reason.<\/p>\n
Family run for more than 6 decades it’s Fincher’s<\/strong><\/a> on the Square in Goderich.<\/p>\n I love this conversation with Tom Fincher<\/strong>.
