We got a new sign today! And boy is it big... 14 feet by 9 feet! Roger Trimble came over to drop it off and we hung it up on the building next door. The building is owned by the same brothers that own our place. The corner of that building is visible to 2 busy intersections. That should give us... »

Well Reggie ditched us for dinner. I think he's afraid to come over to my house for some reason. David was here at 5:00 and I drove him over to my place to eat spaghetti with the family. We enjoyed a cigar on the back deck after dinner before I dropped him off. I asked him if he'd be interested... »

Today I had a great conversation with a young guy who comes in to see if I have any collectable books. He and I discussed how biblical genre effects interpertation. He didn't agree with my view of the book of Revelation, but I think I gave him plenty to think about "). I called 7 churches in our presbytery today in... »

Yesterday was fantastic! The store was busy all day and sales were well above normal. Today is back to slow and empty. I wish I could make sense out of it. However if you average them out. The first 2 days of business this week are about average I guess. Conrad from Southside and Francis from Redeemer both stopped by this... »

Last week was a busy one! My folks came up on Thursday and we built some shelves in the warehouse. It's finally starting to look organized!! Sales ended up a bit above average for the week. Slow mornings were typically followed by busy afternoons. I'm hoping that this week will be busy since school is starting back and moms won't have... »

It's 3:15 and so far we've had about $50 in sales. We haven't had a day this low in a couple months. It's weird. Last week every day was high traffic and higher than average sales. This week its been slow for 3 days with today being the slowest yet. Payday is Friday for a lot of people so maybe... »

Yesterday I sent out a "desparation" email to my team leader in the presbytery for help. I had a pretty tough week last week although sales were higher than ever. The traffic through the store has increased a lot (which in itself is great) and with that traffic the amount of maintenance work needed to survive every day has gone... »
Thurs 8.6.09 part 2
So one of my volunteers gets back from lunch and his mom shows up. They are outside the front door and all the sudden I hear Reggie screaming and swearing at his mom. The 2 of them are having a knock down drag out in front of the shop. I talk to both of them and it seems to me... »
Thurs 8.6.09
Thursdays are usually slow and this one is like the rest. I've had about $5 in sales in the first 2 hours we have been open. I sent Reggie to the road with a sign for about 45 minutes. He pointed folks driving by on Waughtown St. towards the store. Hopefully a few new people took a look at it.... »
Wed 8.5.09
Traffic has been pretty high this week. Sales have been up as well. Last Friday paychecks went out so I'm guessing that is why sales are higher than average. I talked with the mom of the boy who had been stealing so much from the store. She told him to stop, but that was about it. I didn't see the... »
