Brilliant!
 
I used to live near an art supply store called Dick Blick Art Supplies. Guy had the entire name spelled across the roof of the building. About every other month, the "B" would get stolen.

There's a Dick Blick's art supply store in Iowa City. I always thought it was a local store and not a chain. The more you know!

Big Chain, used to be much bigger though. Based in Galesburg, IL. Been hurt by the big craft stores. Now mostly in larger cities near artist enclaves and University towns with large Art Programs. They closed a bunch of stores about ten years ago, but they still have 66. They have an outlet center in Galesburg. You could find incredible deals on just about everything for a year or two.
