Yeah, I know. Thing that sucks for me is not having a well-stocked store
within reasonable driving distance so I can actually try to stuff my own
toys into it. Driving into Chicago involves 50 miles worth of gas, tolls,
and $30 in parking fees. With Calumet closing, no good suburban stores. I
could drive an hour the other way to South Bend to Gene's camera I suppose
- but when I called to ask about what bags they carried, the girl who
answered the phone didn't sound too helpful.
