Emily will soon be a fellow alumna of Calvin College, and saw this in Royal Oak, MI. I don't know if this place is a store or not, or if it is for teachers (too bad the apostrophe is there, or one might think they SELL teachers, which would be funnier).

Oh, I want to laugh, but this one is SO sad to me, since this store is an educational outfit. One of my daughters came home from school a week or so ago, telling me that the teacher told the students they had a big grammar section to do. She then wrote in big letters on the whiteboard: GRAMMER. :(
It appears it's only for one "teacher" too. Maybe the lot is vacant for a reason.
It's clearly owned by a certain teacher... I'm not sure which one though.
They also sell stuff for home schooling which could take this down a whole different path!
Actually, I believe the name of the builder is "The Teacher is Store" but the "i" was broken in transit and they had a Grammatically ignorant painter hang the letters on the building. See? "The Teacher is Store" makes a whole lot more sense than The "Teacher's Store"
VeggieT....wha? You lost me on that one :P
Are you sure this is in Royal Oak? It sure looks exactly like the (now defunct) "Teacher's Store" that was on East Paris Avenue and 28th Street, less than one mile from Calvin College. I used to shop there (and mock the quotation marks) when I was doing my Student Teaching for Calvin in 1984. :)
Based on the surrounding landscaping, this is the Teacher Store in Sterling Heights, on 14 Mile Road. So Royal Oak is close, but no cigar.
There's another location (same bad sign) in Livonia, on Middlebelt.
Chefann- That does indeed look like the one in Sterling Heights. If so, that means it's also the location that went for about a month during my high school days with the last "t" missing, making it "the 'teacher's sore.'"
