Inspiration for the
Heemsoth’s Rexall
Drug Store
of New Zebedee, Michigan

This is the long-time location of Hemmingsen Rexall Drug store.

The building's interior has been remodeled over the years, with the front section (facing Michigan Avenue) housing the drug store and a travel agency (among other shops); the back part of the building (facing Jefferson Street) was for many years the location of the kids' place book store, which closed in 2006 after 20 years of operation.

Lewis is dropped off from his bus ride out front this store and later comes to know this establishment's lunch counter quite well.
