Sundries

 

The picture is of the O.U. Sundry Store in Athens in the late Fifties, before Jim Fry (the protagonist of 'These Remembered Hills') attended Ohio University. In 1960, Campus Sundry Store opened at a new address. He would definitely know and probably shop there when he began classes in ’62. It is entirely likely to show up in a future novel.

Generations of Ohio University students shopped there, before it closed relatively recently. Anything they needed!

This is the last post I'm bringing over from the Hocking Hills blog. But I shall, of course, write more about the area here.
