rasterweb, 4 months ago Me: I need new shoelaces. Wife: There’s a shoe store on 68th where a cranky-ass old man has hundreds of different shoelaces… Me: Do I want to go to a shop run by a cranky-ass old man? Wife: He might be a cranky-ass old man because online retailers have destroyed the local business he’s been running for 40 years… Me: I’ll go there this week.

crazybutable, 4 months ago @rasterweb hot damn I wish I knew where one was in Minneapolis I refuse to buy shoelaces online. It’s the one thing I said to myself no I don’t care I’m not buying this one thing online. In practice this means all of my shoes have terrible laces. Have you seen the crap they stock at target, Walmart, even local shoe stores?

jschrab, 4 months ago @rasterweb I know which store you’re talking about. I had some boots re-soled there not too long ago. They did a great job! I would do business with them again. Recommended!

rasterweb, 4 months ago @jschrab Good to hear! My wife has been there before but I have not. I'll see if I can get there soon.
