Tell about your favorite stores to browse in as a child.

That's not hard since there was really only one store to browse and that was Kohl's. It was in the middle of the business block on main street and we had to walk past it every time we walked to Primary so that was when I would "browse" if it could even be called that since we really only had a few minutes to get there after school. I use to like the candy section followed by the tools section. We had everything in that store from clothing to candy to tools and lumber or hardware. It was the only store in town for a lot of years before Wilkerson's built the IGA that then basically ran Kohls out of the food part of the business. There was only one cafe also for many years Cowan's Cafe and to this day I have only been in it once and that was as a representative for the school yearbook asking for donations. I don't know why I have never eaten there but it was a cafe and I usually went to the Dairy Queen or the Frost Top, fast food places. There was also one drugstore that I would frequent once in a while but not much compared to Kohls.
