<\/a><\/p>\n

My memory is that in the original layout of Dutch Square<\/a>, there were two stores in the actual mall building which had no access to the mall interior: Jackson Camera<\/a> and Baskin-Robbins<\/i>.<\/p>\n

Why this was, I don't know. A camera store, even a smaller one (but more than a film drop-off) could easily draw foot traffic inside the mall as well as any number of other specialized stores that had inside access, and there were other fast-food operations inside, such as Orange Julias<\/i>, Chick-Fil-A<\/a> and lunch counters at Edkerd's<\/a> and Woolworth's<\/i>.<\/p>\n

At any rate, Baskin-Robbins<\/i> soldiered on with its odd location for a good number of years until around 1996. I noticed some activity in the store recently (first picture), and it turns out that it is to be reopened (or perhaps already is) as a barber shop.<\/p>\n

UPDATE 9 September 2011<\/b>: Commenter Weston points out I was wrong about the 96-ish closing date, I've changed it to something less specific (Late 90s\/Early 2000s) for now.<\/p>\n

UPDATE 18 January 2023<\/b>: Update tags, add map icon.<\/p>\n
