   I am sorry to hear that. Condolences to owner and thanks for giving it a whirl.

   Hopefully someone else can give it a try.

   Dog scooters/chariots anyone?

   I too am sorry to hear it. Will there be a going out of buisness sale?

   As a huge fan of dog friendly stores, I am so sorry to hear they are closing.

   However, I think this goes to show why development in the Bottom must be done in one significant sweep. There is no way small, stand alone businesses can survive. There are not enough people in the neighborhood to give them enough business, and they do not have the convenience and draw of similar stores in a location close to other shops.

   There were extenuating circumstances to the closing. The owner told me a water pipe busted and ruined a great deal of the merchandise and the floors and ceiling.

   I loved the shop. I rented equipment from YeRen and will miss them! Perhaps, they’ll set up shop in a new location?

   Slowly and surely, I think we will be able to sustain business in the Bottom.

   And yes, they were having a big ole sale for the last few weeks. You may’ve missed it Mr. Smith.

   Sad to see a local business close. But I never understood why it cost more to rent a bike here than it cost to rent a car at most places.
