Loved hanging out, always had a good vibe in the store. I bought clothing, skull skates hoodies, the dead guys tee, and the long sleeve skull skates tee and being a girl during that time period I got strange looks from my peers. Little did they know I was ahead of the fashion trend that was about to break. I took a trip to LA to catch some live concerts while walking down both Sunset,and Hollywood Blvd people stopped to ask me where I got my skull skates stuff cause it was rad and they had never seen the likes of it then. I met Duff McKagan from GNR that time too he liked the long sleeve skull skates tee. I am now in my mid 40's and still wear it. PD you are a legend, and thank you for all that you have contributed to the community. Between 1989-1991 in my early 20′s I used to frequent PD’s on Pender.
