I stopped by Wish You Were Here the week before Christmas to get my son
stocking stuffers. He loves their candy counter especially the candy
cigarettes. Cathy has a sign on the counter that the store is for
sale. I think is so sad. She's been there for a long time and she is
always open. Not every store on Cookman can share that fact. I don't
work downtown anymore or I'd go there more. The only way to keep
businesses open is to visit them. Wish You Were Here isn't expensive.
They have really unique items and they sell retro candy (the
aforementioned cigs, Clark's teaberry gum, pop rocks, fun dip, mary
janes, etc.).
I remember when Cookman was so dead that I expected to see tumbleweeds
blowing down the street. It could happen again. Anything can happen
again.
