So sad. Love Saves The Day closing.

Totally sad, but I have to say, even as a collector, I very rarely ever bought anything there. Nowadays there are tons of specialty shops that are more organized, clean, and niche oriented so I understand how they are falling through the cracks and becoming the latest victim of high rents.
Where will I get my Pyramid jackets now though?!

Ebay kills another one.

Actually, if you watch the video, you'll see that the closing has nothing to do with any of those things. The store was still profitable, despite a big rent increase in 2005. The reason that it's closing is that one of the partners (the surviving partner's wife) died.

The landlord tried to triple their rent in 2005 but they managed to negotiate a more reasonable three year lease.
Since it's 2008 now, and I'm certain that their sales can't be what they'd wish, I 'm sure a rent increase is a serious factor, despite the sad passing of the owner's wife.
Howdy, Stranger!
