You might want to edit the post so that Ms. Portman's name's corrected, from "Natille" to "Natalie".
Just helpin'.

Thats A Great List

 

[CookieCountDawn]

Cool! Thanks for the list.

 

[Vic Romano]

Wow, that's really cool!

 

[superfan]

Tom?

 

[D'Snowth]

Tom?

Yeah, who's Tom?

Anyway, here's another little list that might be interesting:

1969-1992: The store has a black and white striped awning with a dirty green exterior, and below the window is the black and yellow checkered pattern. A "Hooper's Store" sign is hanging from beside the awning. To the side, the wall changes from having a mural to going to a plain brick wall.

1993-1998: The store gets a cleaner look, and the side wall goes back to having a mural.

1998-2001: The awning is updated bright red with "Hooper's Store" printed on the front and the side, the exterior is now solid light blue, and the side wall now has another window facing the arbor.

2002-present: The exterior is now orange.

Let's not forget Grover was apparently on duty there in Follow That Bird.

Tom is/was a human character from the early seasons... He was portrayed by Larry Block, you can find him in Episode 355: The Rainy Day episode with the legendary Puerto Rican actor Raul Julia as Rafael and Charlotte Rae as Molly the Mail Lady.
Hope this helps.

It's certainly great trivia to keep in my back pocket, but no, he doesn't ring a bell.
Thanks all the same!
