last time I was there they were all done selling eels for the season. So no serpents were lost in the blaze. But alotta of nice plugs...were turned into kindling : (
This sucks. Quaker Lane was the best local (for me) B&T. Good people there, I hope they rebuild.. |

Damn Shame
I've always enjoyed stopping there on my way down. Best wishes to the owner, hopefully the insurance will cover everything and they'll be up and running again with minimal losses. Too many shops closing for monetary reasons already, don't need fires and such taking anymore.

That does suck, hope nobody was hurt and that they rebuild. But it is just a store, it's the people that work there that make the store great and that will make it great again.

That is to bad, It was a nice easy place to get to right off the main road
at least it didn't happen in the middle of the season and they didn't lose business.

I seem to recall they refilled propane tanks there too - right next to the building - that couldn't be good....

Holy hannah... just stopped by there for the first time last Wednesday! Lots of interesting stuff, and the salesguy didn't hassle me for spending all kinds of time window-shopping. (I'm a newbie, so I don't know what to buy, but I want to know what it looks like when I do.  )
Some top-notch stuff there... Van Stahl reels and suchlike, and an antique wooden fishing pole. A real shame. Sorry this had to be my first post...

What a Shame!! I hope the insurance covers everything. Lots of times they don't. I hope the people who work there can collect while its rebuilt? Too bad for everyone involved.
