My husband told me last night he discovered the Bill Battey's is closing. The recent face lift the building received I thought was a good sign. Apparantly the building was sold and it was the new owner that spiffed it up. Meanwhile, Bill Battey's unable to compete with Modell's and other sporting goods chains is closing.
There's something very sad about that. As Emma said, where will all the kids get there gym uniforms...

A sad day indeed! I got my first (and many subsequent) pair of skates there as a kid. Growing up, it was where we went for hockey gear. Buy it at the rink, no way - you waited and went to Battey's. Some might say it's progress but small towns with stores like Battey's will be missed when they are gone.
