Forgive me if this was asked before, I quickly read through the msg threads....
I noticed that this is listed on the Memphis craigslist. Did this store aside from the owner passing, have any flood damage from the recent storms?
If they did, FYI, make sure those purchasing fabrics wash everything at least twice. Living in a warm, wet environment causes mildew and mold, and not the fun kind. Some types can also damage or discolor fabrics. (Experience from a broken water heater drenching part of my stash).
