Way to scary for me. I would like to see it but shopping must be impossible.

I couldn't handle it. I like to browse and there's no way to browse and see what's in those stacks to the ceiling. And even if "she" knows where everything is, how does she get it out when it's under the leaning tower of fabric? It looks like there is stock back to the 70's and 80's. Who wants that stuff anyway? I'm thinking the owner isn't mentally stable any longer.

AGREE! The Treadle is the same way, except the building is much newer and there aren't stairs to worry about. But stacks and stacks, and you can only get down an aisle sideways!
