Just So the Neon Doesn't Run Out of Gas


       Connie and I are always amused at the bright red neon sign above a store in a mini mall not too far from us.  The sign reads

                 SALVATION ARMY THRIFT STORE AND BOUTIQUE 

I think it’s the “boutique” that gets us most, plus the surprisingly fancy and colorful sign. 

       Only thing is, frequently some of the letters are broken or out of commission.  Especially when you go by at night, as we did recently after a movie, the sign is prominent, but the unlighted letters are invisible.  If it were your first time going by, what would you make of a sign that read

                                ION AR                           TORE AND BOU

But we should stop by and find out just how "boutique" a Salvation Army store can be.

    Don: Is this the store across from the old Peppertree Movie Theater? If memories serves me correct, then I recall even further back to the early 1970s to when that Boutique was a single playing movie theater...ah many happy memories there.
