  3. My parents used Bobbitt’s as our family pharmacy for years. Not only would we get our prescriptions there, we also bought the Sunday NY Times every week. When sick as a child, they would deliver the medicine I needed. As an adult, a couple of years before it was torn down, the pharmacists helped fill a prescription I could not find anywhere else. I miss seeing the drug store when I drive up Hawthorne.

  9. I used to spend time downstairs in the toy area. My favorite s were the toys made in Europe. The Corgi car selection was great and only Bocock Stroud had a better collection of Swapettes (knights with interchangable body parts and weapons). Things I saw there taught me to save my money so I could buy what I really wanted. Silver windup racecar was a favorite purchase.

  10. Bob it’s was the halfway point when walking home from Reynolds High School. Beth Bayless and Linda Young and I walked together there many an afternoon. It was cool in the late spring and warm and dry in the winter giving out cold feet and hands a break. The gift shop was a great place to visit even though we never had more than the price of a candy bar.

  11. I worked there in high school. The Rabil’s were such nice people! This makes me sad!
