That is a really bummer. I really liked their shop. Always friendly,
helpful, and respectful.

On a parallel. It seems like a lot of good shops have closed up...all
over the northeast.

I really enjoy going into and supporting the little shops, and I
don't mind spending extra to support them. Its part of the ritual to
chew the fat and always buy stuff, even though I might not need anything.

On the flip side....The Goose Hummock (a little before and after the
new owner) really turned into a crappy shop. I guess the fact that
they nearly have a monopoly gives them the greenlight for bad
service. Between the attitude and general jerky behavior, I doubt I
will ever go back. The last time I was there those clowns were
openly talking about how stupid or untalented their clients and
customers are. Huh? Thats a good way to run a business. I was
gonna buy some stuff but walked out instead. Just couldn't stand
listening to it. Blowhards...

Why is it that the good guys struggle and the jerks prosper in this world?

I didn't get down to that stretch too much, but when I did I always
stopped into Nelsons. The thought that it won't be there anymore
is a real bummer. I hope that they prosper in wherever their next
journey takes them.
