I thought this was a bit of interesting news.
A STEM themed shop has opened in Tulsa, OK.
From the store pictures it looks like they carry a decent selection of glassware.

Oh boy, he's planning on expanding to Austin! That would be great, though I suppose the selection of glassware they'd be able to sell in Texas stores
would be limited by that infamous state law that has been discussed ad nauseum here. Still, it would be great to have a place to buy stuff like test
tubes, beakers, and other misc equipment locally.

This is good. I've noticed that a few mail order sites have popped up lately serving home school science teaching.
It is sad that we had to wait for home schooling before the public found out they could do chemistry at home.
I like the story about the boy being so excited about buying some test tubes. My observation is that some (lucky) children find their passion very
early in life. I was talking to a butcher to get some blood to make cyanide a few years ago. I told him why I wanted it. He then told me about his
12-yr old daughter's passion for chemistry. She only wanted to read books about chemistry.
