This place is exactly what it says it is -- a bargain center. It sells, in the words of store owner Sandra Piper, "that odd thing" and whatever else the owner can get her hands on. And it's cheap.
Now, it is not exactly the prettiest place you've ever been to in your life, but there's a good chance they'll have that thing you just couldn't find anywhere else. One wall is taken up almost completely by dolls of all kinds, ceramic, wooden, plastic, old, new, with some odd toys thrown in. The most noticeable? Teen WesternGirl, a generic take off on Barbie, costs $12.95. Quality sweatshirts are $20, trashy sunglasses are $3, and mediocre movies are $15. What do you think this is, a bargain center?
