I lived only a few blocks away from boots pet store and used to walk by there to see the pets in the window I was never allowed to have animals my mother wouldn’t allow it
I remember it well!!!
Can’t count the number of goldfish and little green turtles I had from Boots. Great place to visit. Anyone remember Eleanor’s sandwich shop across the street from Boots and what was the little candy store behing Eleanor’s??
It was Pfieffer’s Notions. She had the best penny candy. Do you remember what the store was before Eleanor’s? It was Miller’s Drug Store.
Make a right onto 10th and stop at Ott’s hobby shop!!
