IDAHO FALLS, Idaho (KIFI/KIDK) - A truck ran through the storefront of Hippie Down on October 18. Store owner, Sean Waters, says the truck took out the front window of his shop, a fish tank, electric guitars, amps, small electronics and plants.
Waters has since replaced the fish tank, though it is currently empty and moved to the middle of the shop and away from the front window.
He says they are still waiting on insurance and contractors to come through and fix his shop. Waters has no idea when the repairs may be made.
