Twenty-two years ago Karen Clark Adin opened her Bop To Tottom boutique on Wall Street in Kingston with an eclectic mix of “funkadelic” items that included clothing, accessories, jewelry, handbags, hats and gifts. It was welcomed by area residents and last week Adin announced that she would be closing the store to retire. The store will close March 26 but will host a “Closing Doors, Open Heart Sale” from now until the closing date.
Adin opened the boutique as an affordable gift store, which was something she felt Uptown was missing. In her announcement, she stated her vision for the store was to provide a warm and fun escape from life’s craziness for everyone who walked through the door.
Bop To Tottom will be open from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Thursdays, 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. Fridays and 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturdays, through March 26.
