My main memory of that store is that when my daughter was learning to
play the flute and would go there to buy cigarette papers (which she
had been instructed to use to clean her flute), they would always
refuse to see them to her. When I went there with her to explain what
she needed them for, they told me that they still would not sell them
to her, and that I would have to buy them.<br>
<br>
Recently, I learned that it is illegal to sell cigarette papers to a
minor. If the person at the Hopkins Store had told me that, I would
not have been so upset at the store. But I do much prefer having
Donna's there.<br>

used to call
the store where Donna’s is “the dink.” I don’t
know why. I think its actual name was The Hopkins Store.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

thing about
it that always surprised me was that no matter what you needed, the
Dink would
have it—no matter how arcane—eyelash curlers, Coca-Cola syrup,
staplers,
flea powder, games and puzzles, pacifiers, detergent, lighter
flints—yet the
shelves always seemed nearly bare.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

everyone for all the good hints in which to investigate the history in
the
1960s-2000. Oddly, its a period where not many documents have made
their way into public archives yet, so its the most difficult to
research. That's why we will rely on you all to help us along!<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
