Toy Depot — Local services in Hutchinson

On the 18th of June 2012, my wife and I had to go to Hutchinson for some personal matters. And, as we were en route to leave for home (which is roughly 80 miles or so from Hutchinson), I caught a glimpse of a place I had never seen before in all my visits (and even previous residence) to the town. It was a little hole in the wall store in Hutchinson's antique store district on East Main Street, known as Toy Depot.
