I knew the guy who owned the Dandelion. He ended up working on a couple of jobs with me after he lost his lease.

Way back in the day my older brother and a partner opened what I think was the only, first, water bed store in the area. It was in some strip mall in Durham. My parents were in town and wanted to see it-so he had to hide all the pipes he was selling before they got there.......

I vaguely remember it being in one of the basements near The Cave. I want to say it was under the Colonial Drugstore.

Good call on the location.

I knew her daughter Debbie real well-same age as me -we hung out with the same folks a lot as young teenagers
I knew the Jorgensen boys -in the sense that it was a small town
Paquita was a lot more exotic than your average Mom!
