Secrets of the City

It’s almost as exciting as it was in January!

The ex employee who started this is one of the people who ran the old company into the ground. The idea of the old shinders is dead. if you want to see a selection of magazines like there used to be, keep dreaming. The only thing these guys know is overpriced sports junk and porn. Lots and lots of porn.

Just because the person worked there in the past doesn’t mean he made the decisions the former owner did and ran it into the ground. Perhaps he should be congratulated on trying to sustain a century old Minneapolis landmark. And, give them a minute to get their distributors in place for more magazines.
A guy. Barely.

well, that’s enought to get my business.

and, IIRC, Shinders was run into the ground by the paranoid meth-addled gun-toting owner.

Was it meth? I thought it was coke.

Maplewood and Minnetonka? Hardly resurrecting a Minneapolis landmark.

Let me know when Crystal or DT reopens.

Downtown opened last month. I think it’s within a couple of doors of club sinners on Washington.

a friend went into the maplewood store, asked innocently if the store had any affiliation with the original shinders and was chewed out by an irate clerk. it was like, how dare you ask such a question!
and he’s never going back. . .

Is Crystal reopening?

They did have a lot of obscure magazines and were a great place to load up on magazines before a trip.

“Maplewood and Minnetonka? Hardly resurrecting a Minneapolis landmark.”

The Warehouse district too. That’s the Minneapolis part, Simpleton.

I guess I was just going off the article. Warehouse district thou? I’m ascared that some drunken slut might attack me walking out of Trocaderos.

The reason Shinders finally closed was the meth loving owner. The reason the store was in decline for the last 2 years of it’s existence was the people put in place to run the company. The company didn’t lose money month after month due to a drug addiction.

There’s a difference in trying to sustain a landmark and cashing in on it’s demise.
