Thank you for at least calling the building sturdy. Sadly my father finally had to sell the drugstore; however, the strip mall chain could not retrofit and convert into a Rite Aide. Tis the waw of the world today. My brother, my sister nor I have no means to continue to find a way to restore the building. We are in the middle of negotiations to donate the building to the Opp Arts Council who is going to try and find a way to reopen the store with offices as it was back in the day. I will wish them luck. By the way, I live in New York City and have since 1991. I am beginning to write a series of articles for the local paper to coinside with transaction/transition. I am going to be working on nastalgic oriented stories about the marble soda fountain, the building use to be the first theatre for the community, and the changes we made in the building during our 40 years. I am not sure now that I look at it directly what I think about my father tearing down two buildings to make way for the parking lot and the drive-thru window in the 1970's... Just thought I would drop you a line. Sean Sellers Hello Scott, Dean’s Pharmacy is my family’s building. Thank you for at least calling the building sturdy.
