      Ditto. I’m not even entirely convinced that they don’t have a taxidermy service stuffed in there with their bait shop and canoe rental and check cashing.

      The owner is the type of guy that you can ask him for anything and he’ll give you a price.

        …so it used to be pretty common in small towns (pre-walmart mainstreet USA) for hardware stores to include a toy department, usually downstairs in the basement, much like how drugstores typically did double-duty as lunch counters…

        …the small town where i went to college, though, enjoyed a stereo/mattress/ski shop, and i never wrapped my head around that combination…one of the local grocery stores (pre-hypermarket) also had a full computer department; the most well-appointed amiga retailer i’d ever seen, replete with rendering hardware and video equipment…
