new saltwater store in town

[midgetwaiter]

The main problem in the south is the price of commerical real estate. I did some poking around a while ago and it is really getting out of hand. Somebody could open a store down there but by the time they covered thier costs everybody would be complaining about the prices being too high.

I'm probably going to get flamed for this, but here's my opinion nonetheless:

If I didn't work in this hobby, I probably wouldn't even be keeping saltwater. I've been ripped off, lied to, and manipulated more times than not. Hell, when I just started in this (around 13), the owner of the only SW store in town sold me a rock of bubble algae for $30. $30!!!! You know how long it takes a 13 year old kid to save up $30? Thanks Jacka$$, I didn't forget.

Almost every day I wish that the old " Hole in the Wall" store was still around. It was my first LFS when I was about 10 or 12. They had a
SW section , and the whole till area was basically constructed out of an elabotate Trickle Filter system. And they had 3 foot sharks!! Ok they probably were not that big but hey I was only 10 or 12.

Damn I thought 31 was still young

I was saving my allowance for red tailed sharks, neon tetras and blue gorami's in those days

Oh geez, I had completely forgot, that's right, there was a period there in the 90's where it was in that same stripmall that Santa Fe Grill is in.

I was thinking of when it was on 11th Av over by the "Super-S" (early 80's). Can't remember when they closed that one.

PS. Yeah, 10 or 12, give or take .. Memory not quite was it used to be .. um .. what were we talking about again? Where are my glasses!

Admit it Tony! You where driving to that shop just like I was!

10 or 12

The crappy thing about that shop was that it was in the wrong part of town.
