Thinking of You, On Broadway was a gift shop located just north of the Wreck Room on Catalano Square. The store, which featured cards and candles, occupied a prominent corner with large windows. Popular drag entertainer Doris Delago (aka Jim Mierszwa) worked at the shop. After it closed, much of its merchandise was sold at the Wreck Room Pub store, but it is unknown whether the two businesses shared owners. We welcome any available information about this location.
