Bittersweet story to hear that Thompson's recently closed after 80 years in Eugene. It was one of the oldest businesses in the entire city. It’s remained in family ownership since the owners’ father, Thomas Thompson, started it with his brother, Dick Thompson, in 1936. The Thompson brothers began selling radios during the Depression: End of an era | Main News | Eugene, Oregon
well that is interesting. I never knew Sam used to be a single frontage, it was double all the time I lived in TO. This is fascinating to see.
It's been working - all your images. These other people have dodgy ISP's or whatever the problem is. Not your problem to jump through hoops for them. If they can't see the image it's their problem they have to resolve.
It is true that some web-sourced images don't show up. It seems you never can tell, though most work just fine.
It was definitely on my end. I'm home now and I can see it fine. Re: Cheapo, I've seen a couple of posts in other threads that indicate that it's improved since the change in ownership. I can't say for sure either way but I can attest that their inventory seemed frozen in amber there for a while in the late 90s/early 00s.
Some people think that only losers work in record stores. Many of them are musicians who need to have something to get them out of bed every day.
The original Cheapo had a virtually complete stock of every box set and single CD by the Bear Family company. The only store in the world that had that. Though it had been depleted a bit by the time of the sale of the store to a new owner, the new owner sold the entire stock to another dealer far far away. Cheapo went from being absolutely unique in the world to being just another store. However, I can completely understand if customers thought the new owner was a nicer guy. Alan was a bit cranky.
