| - I was in Old Town for an appointment and walked by Bischoff's. I remembered that I wanted to check them out to see if they had a particular hot sauce. I had only been in one other time several years ago, and had forgotten what a unique store it was. Because I had some time to kill, I not only looked at the hot sauces, but also all their other "stuff". And what stuff it is - everything from southwestern foods, baskets, pottery, clothes, t-shirts, travel books, cookbooks, hats, tourist souvenirs - you name it, they have it.
It kind of reminds me of the old general stores that still exist in small towns - a little of everything, but with a southwest flavor. Crowded, narrow aisles, no rhyme or reason where they stock things - but still fun to look through.
I never did find the particular hot sauce I was looking for, but I did manage to find three others that I took home to try. And I'll be back, if for nothing else just to look through their assorted merchandise for that elusive touristy gift.
