You can't miss the closed pawn shop in Wenatchee, Wash., for obvious reasons. It's the original Target store, you could say. The shop was called Adams Sport and Pawn Shop, a "pretty good sporting goods store," according to my wife's Uncle Marc.

I met the owner who plans to sell the store when he pays off the property. Hoping the new owner keeps it as a city landmark. Who has ever seen a store like this? Driving in town is like traveling in a time machine. The old Mission Court Apartments still have tenants. The retired tractor and old buggy reflect a bygone era.
