The store is in an old church building. About 4 employees, everybody
dresses pretty ratty. That's the rat you smell, I guess. Tim Clark lives
near Columbus and stops in once in a while too. There's lots more N*k*n and
C*n*n, etc, there than OM. Almost nothing new except photo magazines.

Hmmm, and they probably also employ a 100 people, each one driving
a Lexus to work. Hmmm, am I the only one who smells a rat here? :-)
IMHO, this store must be a front for some kind of a money laundering
operation! There is simply no way they could make a living from the
above sales, unless their entire merchandise is "hot" (= stolen).
