“Atomic Boys” update: Almost there

atomicsign.jpg

As we first told you a week and a half ago, the former Hart’s Gifts on Admiral just west of California is becoming Max and Quinn’s Atomic Boys Shop-O-Rama, featuring “retro and nostalgic” merchandise. After seeing the sign go up (as shown above), we just checked with owner Kent Sadow regarding progress toward opening; he says it’ll be within the next few days, adding (for everyone wondering about retro candy possibilities), “Spent the better part of yesterday pricing Sugar Daddys, Good & Plenty, Chuckles, Candy dots (on paper) and a lot more.” He promises he will let us all know as soon as the “open” sign goes up.

    YAY! I am so excited. I bet this could be a fun place to get kooky treats for Valentine’s Day! I would like some pop rocks. And lick-a-maid.

    lick-a-maid? that is offensive to women, not to mention domestic workers. WE have worked so hard to bring dignity to domestic engineers, and now you want to …….LICK them? And it’s very suggestive too. I hope there are no young children on line. (if you don’t get it, please refer to other threads elsewhere on this site)

    I’m an engineer for a local company. Does that make me a domestic engineer? Come on lets use the correct term “house spouse”

  • Jessica February 6, 2008 (6:51 pm)

    Hehe, didn’t mean to offend! (oh, and I did spell it completely wrong… it’s lik-m-aid, or fun dip which also sounds slightly wrong).

  • JanS February 6, 2008 (7:20 pm)

    lol…acemotel…actually, I think it’s spelled Lick-m-ade…we wouldn’t want to offend anyone :)

  • Gina February 6, 2008 (7:58 pm)
