Matthew Usher hit the nail on its proverbial head in this editorial. His description of a folksy LHS reminded me of the shop where I usually make a cash deposit. The stacked kits and the owners dog following you around were especially subtle touches. Although my LHS even has a few chairs outside where you can park with a cup of coffee and smoke and chat away. A nice contrast to the more antiseptic modern marketing and merchandising that is prefered by large chains… Thanks Matt!
