A short while ago I shared a video somewhere in the BBS
world featuring my brother..
As an update on his endeavors.. Friday, the shop was sold
out in 6 hours.
That's good and bad! :/ Good that people were interested in
supporting the shop, but bad that the shop couldn't do business
over the weekend (which is what I assumed happend since they
sold out of everything on Friday.)
That's something positive I see that can hapoen with social
media.
Yes.. it's like the modern megahorn of the century.
Even with the struggles he is having during the ongoing
restrictions due to covid, he's highlighting fellow
businesses to promote them as well.
A kind of lethargy has settled in my town, and people are simply
not shopping for things they do not deem to be essential.
There is a shoe shop right across the street from me. They
decided to go dark on Dec 26, and actually lock up. I can see
some deliveries arrive from time to time, but they don't
entertain the public. I don't see why they couldn't allow a few
people at a time.
After all the years of just getting by with the old shoes and
boots that I do have, this would have been ideal to shop for
something new.
Dedicated clothing stores are pretty much all closed and non-
functional.
Banks only allow a handful of people inside, or they insist on
"by appointment" only. I believe I wrote about a recent
experience I had with my bank around mid-January.
But.. I have achieved a bit of an upswing in "special orders",
so that keeps me juggling my options.
