The old shopping center with the Tape Escape, Ben Franklin, ParaFUNalia, Heath's Hardware, Phu Jee Restaurant, the previous drug store (not wrong aid), & Heaths Grocery-Oct Farm was easily a ten times better shopping experience than what's there now. Those were the good old days........!
That old strip mall may have been just a little shabby and down scale compared to today but it was a much better shopping go-to place. As time goes by the local owner stores get replaced by corporate multi-store chains. Is that a good thing?
