Yep, it was in the same room as the laudromat...I remember doing clothes and "hanging around" the store while I was waiting for the clothes to be done...the dude who ran it was a mean SOB and I remember one morning him and John (Col.) Purdy, who I worked for an a student athletic trainer go into it.

Purdy was a small guy but mean as a fricking badger...he had to be dragged out of there before he beat up the old blind dude....

I don't remember that store but I knew Purdy. He was basically the head trainer for the baseball team. I think he won a Purple Heart in Vietnam.
