There used to be a small shop from here that was not cluttered, but wasn't ever finished. It had been a gift shop, then new owners expanded by building on another large room. Never finished the concrete floor, which might have been okay had it at least been sealed. Raw wood... An area for classes was separated by a drywall partition, but the wood studs were still exposed.

People were very nice, and I'd probably still go there if they'd have finished it off and cleaned up outside. What had been a flower garden became overgrown, weeds everywhere. After a couple of years, they closed.

I've heard of a large shop near Binghamton that sounds somewhat as you describe. People either love it or hate it. Love it as there are several thousand bolts and really nice owners, hate it as things are stacked and smashed in. Honestly, it's my goal to get there and see it for myself!
