    LOL - You and me both, amigo! I'd pay good money to bring those to the party. (y)

    Wow, I remember going to Fuchs downtown. Geez, is it still there? Hadn't even thought of that store in decades.

    Real nice communicating with you, Jim.

    Nope. Long gone. They over-expanded in the early 90's and were in several malls. I think that brought them down. The Government Center shop was there as long as I can remember. The cigar and tobacco shop next door also bit the dust. Since then it has been a revolving door of meaningless shops that don't stay for more than a couple of years. I was just in the area the other day and there is a for lease sign in the window. The rents are killing everybody. How many units of anything you sell or make do you have to sell to make your monthly nut? You must remember Hobbytown on Boylston in the heart of the "Combat Zone." I got my first trains from them as a kid. I spent a lot of my allowance and working for pennies money there. Jim
