the old Laird and Dines drug store

historically, the building on fifth street

and mill avenue was a dry goods store

called Laird and Dines drug store. the

building consisted of two stories and

a basement, which served as a bookstore

for the high school. Laird and Dines was

a drugstore for 63 years. When the

downtown Tempe area was revitalized

the old Laird and Dines store was razed

and rebuilt to resemble its original 

appearance...except now the second

floor is a Hooters restaurant.
