I stopped by this shop shortly after they first opened and several times after. I liked the idea of a shop that they were trying to promote but that never seemed to translate to my experience there. The staff was always polite but never friendly when I visited. Maybe if I had more tats or piercings I would have been more warmly received. That may be a Portland thing though! I am an avid buyer when in a good shop but always left empty handed and somewhat disappointed from my visits there. I dunno, maybe its just me but I can't help but feeling that I wasn't cool enough to shop there. Apparently you cannot alienate some of your customers and still be economically viable. That said, I'm sorry to see them go.
