Shinders, 8th St & Hennepin Ave, Mpls, MN, 1964
Shinders, downtown location was in existence 1916 to about 1997 or so.
It was the go to place, for any printed material. A big, big comic section with old comics up on the wall.
I once got a Journey Into Mystery 84 for a couple bucks there in the 1980's, quite a deal! Then I lost it on the city bus some time later!


Yours,
B.

Yoc:
