Welcome! I visited that Athens HBS this past spring when my wife and I visited our daughter (grad student) in Athens - it had just moved from the main drag out to a dirty old warehouse and its future seemed to have been set by those conditions. Hopefully you can find an alternate LHBS or order online - I try to do both, but prefer to keep my local guy as a priority.
As to the Mountaineers - you gotta like that Jerry West guy - he's still the NBA logo after all these years!
Once, in between careers and an architect friend got me a one-day job locally in western Montana helping move stuff from house to barn prior to new construction for one of the founding owners of Ticketmaster (in the country), he was out at the barn and the phone rang. I almost answered it for him but let it go to voicemail, and heard the message being left. It was from his good friend Jerry West. Wanted to kick myself for not having talked to him, but I just would have sputtered and offered some lame sentiment of appreciation anyway. Anyway, the client decided that the amount of time spent in the barn would lead to rat molestation, so he gave me two beds and a couch, all great condition furniture. Eleven years later, the couch still sits in my living room. A memorable day working for a generous guy.
By the way, WELCOME to the FORUM!
