Entry No. 34 — the Houston file — filed under: single-obsession

Houston Toy Museum

Two floors and 4,000+ square feet on 19th Street packed floor to ceiling with toys and pop-culture ephemera dating back to the late 1800s — less a shop than a walkable private collection of Americana someone refused to stop accumulating.

The move: Wander the two floors picking out the toy each of you had as a kid, then hit one of the 19th Street bars or coffee shops right outside to compare childhoods.
