One of my fave shops closed a couple of years ago, it broke my heart. They had a wonderful selection of styles and colors not to mention a line of very good machines. I think the root of the problem was the landlord doubled the rent which forced the shop to relocate to one which wasn't as good as the original one. Factor into the problem, illness in the family, having to work "8" days a week, and needing to keep their other job for the med insurance. I used to go in there to see quilting friends, and get my creative juices going. Am still mourning the loss.
