Remember the worst thing you can do is not support local business as sad as that is. Half the reason for the shop dying is because of people not thinking twice about where they're shopping and where there money goes. If you spend money locally it goes back into your community some how, otherwise it's sending it out of the town and never to be seen again...
...I'm keeping the blog site going. It's a skateboarding blog.....besides, if I shut this down Nanaimo would have no clue what's going on in the Island scene!!
I went into the shop and grabbed some shoes yesterday and the feeling i got when i saw that empty board wall and the empty near empty displays, such a bummer. Daves stache kind of made up for it but it really hit home that there is no longer "the shop" in my vocabulary. its not even the fact we dont have somewhere to buy shit anymore, it was the place you went. if you were at the bowl or meeting someone to go skate you would always stop by the shop. so very sad to see it go. and fuck whoever broke that window.

the internet/mall stores are bleeding local shops dry

i blame this on the emo trend. all the money is going into converse all stars and nose rings.

Lets just hope the next shop happens soon enough to relieve the city and give it a new skate home.
