Approaching the former location of Froggies bookstore.
The old Cinerama Theater building (next door to where Froggies used to be).
The Froggies building is still here. The old bookstore is gone.
I saw my first issue of Harvey Pekar's "American Splendor" here.
It was also here that I first met a young woman named Cindy who told me that she was thinking about opening up a bookstore and calling it "Jelly Bear's" or maybe "Jelly's".

Wow. I do remember much of this as it was in 1979-84.

ReplyDeleteDid Froggie's move from Waikiki after 1980? I lived in that neighborhood 1977 to 1980. I remember Froggie's. Think it was on Kalakaua near Ena Rd. I enjoyed browsing there.
