Ken: Great! (I'd totally forgotten about Johnson's.) Before they opened we would buy them at the Johnson's on Castro St. I think it was across the street, (more or less), from the Castro Theater.) I remember the "kid's & candy" store on the corner of 24th & Vicente, where after school you could go & buy a handfull of cinnamon hearts or those long strips of paper studded with little pink, blue, & yellow candy dots, for a penny!....
