When I was growing up, WC was a poorish town you got to via a dirt road at
the bottom of Snake Hill. WC is a mix of old and new. It has one fancy
part--that downtown area.

There is a Tiffany, See's Candy, Nordstrom, Victoria's Secret---but they're
downtown, where rents are high. We're in an uninsulated building known as
the Space Building, and it's one of two cheap rents in town--which is why we
can afford it. Our old location was the other, but we outgrew it, and it was
upstairs and awkward to get in and out of, anyway.

We're next to Discount Muffler and Brakes, owned by Scott--a single dad
who's had it for 20 years,  and quite the BMX racer--he and his son--they
both have dozens of trophys. Scott and son took up cyclo-cross two years
ago, and do well in local races.

We have six bays, each 24ft x 40ft. Our rent is 0.95/sq foot per month. One
bay is shipping, one is combo office and assembly (room 19, the one in our
address). One is showroom, one is storage, one is more storage and assembly
and receiving, and one is storage that we don't need except when a bike
shipment comes in. It also has some gym equipment--two LeMond exercycles, a
Water Rower, a Nordic Track that doesn't work, and some 35lb hand barbells,
or whatever you call them. We have a pull-up bar in the showroom, but don't
use it with customers around. Scott is making us a bar-dip station cheap and
strong.

It is unimpressive but affordable. My goal is to expand the showroom and
condense the storage, and move the shipping so it's next to receiving, which
only makes sense.

Eric, I must have just missed you. Thanks for coming by, though! And thanks
for putting the pics up there.
