Let’s Save Indy Shops

I’ve driven all over the country and seen some mighty fine

independent outdoor shops. Long-time owner-operated, hardwood floors,

hand-picked stock, great stuff, great stories, multi-generation shops.

Let’s wake up folks. These shops are going the way of the dodo.

The chains and BAD shops are taking over.

Maybe one way we can STOP this sad trend is to make a list

of our favorite shops nationwide. Then stop by when we’re in

the area. Maybe go on drives to see these treasures!

One selfish reason of mine to do this is that I haven’t taken

a big road trip lately and I’d like to go revisit some of those

great ole shops. OK, I forgot where some of them were.

Of course, you know that outdoor sport shops aren’t the only

disappearing dodos in civilized retail. Quality independent

restaurants, hardware stores and bookshops are in the same

boat.

Maybe there’s a way we can rescue them all at once?

Putting the word out about where there are can’t be a bad

way to start.
