SPEAKING OF LON DEE FLOWERS of McMINNVILLE







The 103 SE Baker (1st & Baker, 99W) McMinnville location is the home today of Hopscotch Toys. It’s located where Lon Dee Flowers lived.


(In 1984, Marian Mahaffey sold Lon Dee Flowers. Read more about her and Lon Dee Flowers at one of the links below.)


On Jan. 15, 2020, Hopscotch ownership sent an email saying it was moving to downtown McMinnville: “We will be taking over the Mac Sports building at 438 NE 3rd Street, snuggly and happily sandwiched between” Inner Oasis Mind Body Spirit, and Timmreck & McNicol Jewelers. Right across the street from 3rd Street Pizza Company. “The building has access from both the 3rd street side, and the parking lot on 2nd—as it was the catalog and service part of JC Penney back in the day …”


So, Hopscotch is moving from the old Lon Dee Flowers location to downtown McMinnville and wants to lease the old Lon Dee Flowers building to someone/something.


That brings us back to Lon Dee Flowers. Take a look at the Hopscotch sign on the corner of 1st & Baker. It’s the same sign/shape as used by “Flowers by Lon Dee.”
