When I was a kid, the “Five & Ten Cent Store” (the locals said that instead of five & dime) was located in the Richards Building. I brought home several toys & Revell Star Wars model kits from there. I remember there was a sign in the window that said “Closed Sunday–the Day is worth more than the Dollar”.
