The three stores on Skinker near McPherson which once housed a bookstore, a shirt shop, and a beauty salon are now being converted to one large antique store. The owners are Neal and Linda Shapiro, a young couple whose experience in dealing with antiques is greater than their years would suggest. They plan to open on June 9. In addition to antiques, they will have jewelry handmade by Mrs. Shapiro and interior and exterior architectural items for sale.
The Shapiros chose this area for their store because they felt that residents were interested in lovely old things, (no doubt as evidenced by our fondness for our lovely old houses). An antique store will be an elegant addition to our neighborhood; The Paper wishes .the Shapiros success.
