    Cool! I assume you're on Old 27 somewhere south of Higgins. If you don't mind visitors, let me know where and I'll stop on my next trip north.

    Wow! Very cool shop. I live on a similar secondary road in upstate NY,and I-87 went thru in the late 60's. Same thing happened.All kinds of small businesses closed up.Most of the old garages have been torn down or turned into mini-marts.....yours is a great save.Wish I lived closer so I could help you move in. Enjoy!

    Hey Harm that is awesome! I can't wait to see the Pegasus flying high again. Have you got any more old pictures of the place? I don't think you can catch pike like that anymore. Congrats, I am envious.

    Man, that's awesome. There's an old Chevy dealership (similar curved-brick architecture) in a small town near Birmingham AL that would make a great rod shop site.
