o J Seme Mpi Store uncov By TONl TURBEVILLE Staff Writer Do you have a craving for bell bottoms and skinny lapel jackets? Then there is a store for you in Five Points. OEO opened almost a year ago with hopes of offering Columbia an alternative to the mainstream fashion dictators, coowner Leslie Minerd said. The store got its short, quirky name because Minerd and Harley wanted to get a neon sign for the front of the store. Neon is very expensive, and OEO, which stands for "old, eclectic and odd," was the shortest title they could think of, Minerd and co-owner Tersh Harley said. The name also describes the type of items sold in the store. Minerd said '70s clothing is really big right now, so the store is carrying items such as bell bottoms and men's I mggmgmmgm Bisexual G Awarern Marcl Wednesday "Waj Work and 0 1 $8wi1 Thursday Crn| RH B Spon; Friday gl pi Goldf Band B-GLAD is co-sponsored by the Bi (BGLA) and the Residen Jeanne "Some people just see me as Ryan V\ me.
