Okay, here's one that stumping me: I need to find some nice liquour glasses in a local store (not online!)
I call them drambuie glasses but that's probably not accurate. Yes, I know where to get shot glasses with team logos on them in Wal-Mart. These are plain (and more expensive). Some people have called them kahlua glasses.

In Columbus, I got them at Crate & Barrel, and I heard one is being built here? If not, is there an alternative? I need four of them.

something along these lines -- doesn't have to be vintage

Crate & Barrel is coming, yes...but in the form of a holiday kiosk at Jordan Creek, for what I understand.

Maybe try the china department at Younkers? (or somewhere that has bridal registry like that?) I am not really sure where to buy glasses like that.

I thought Younkers was a clothing store, but I'll check it out. Thanks for the suggestion.

I imagine stores that sell crystal and such are going out of business. I remember it took me several weeks to find that Crate & Barrel had cordial glasses, and that was about a year ago. They make a nice anniversary present for older couples.

Younkers is a typical department store. Clothes, shoes, home goods. I know at one time some of the larger stores had some selection of dishes and crystal. Not sure if that is still the case, though.

I was at Bed Bath and Beyond and they have a china/ crystal stemware area. Didn't go look but thought of this thread

Thanks Tek and Elle. I'll see if I can work some shopping in tomorrow afternoon on that end of town. Someone else suggested World Market across the street from BB&B.
