Hi, You said you used to work at Boombears? When i was young my father was stationed at Parris Island and that was always my favorite store to go to! i got all of my GUND classic Pooh stuffed animals and Breyer horses there. I have always admired old toys, ever since I can remember. I have not been to south Carolina in years, but I recently found out that it has been closed. I was planning on taking a little trip to get some toys for my 2 year old son from there. Do you know when Boombears closed, and why?
