There used to be a chain of Sesame Street stores. They went bankrupt in the early or mid-90s.

SS Chain stores?

I don't remember any chain stores, but I do know there is a Sesame Street store at Sesame Place Theme park in Langhorn PA. (about 30-40 min outside Philly). They used to sell all kinds of SS and Muppet stuff.

Little History:
A family friend used to be one of the managers there and got me great deals on Muppet Trading Cards, etc. John Targalia of Avenue Q fame worked there as Oscar, as well as at one point Brian Henson and Bill Bararreta(which is where they met).

I know it's nowhere near CA. but if you find yourself in Philly..... :big_grin:

Where were these SS chain stoes located?? :confused:

You're definitely not alone. I love the count as well. He's supposed to appear on MSNBC's Countdown with Keith Olberman tomorrow (March 31) at 8pm eastern.
