Baby Blue? Upon further review.......

[Bob Correll]

Last night a local TV station ran a piece on a 'cash mob' going to a local gift store.
The blue, I'm sure Weber, in the storefront caught my attention.
I rewound it several times, and it looks like the whole thing was painted since the bottom vent is the same color.
A decor only item I would guess, but I still might check it out.

Pics from the segment.

I wonder if you could find out which store it was and check it out.

 

[Brian O'Neal]

What is a cash mob?

Brian

 

[Bob Correll]

The term was new to me too Brian.
Much like a flash mob, but in this case a group gets together to hit a small locally owned business to make purchases.
Even better if the business sells locally made/produced items.

Most of the phone number is right not the screen. Easy enough to call and find out.

 

[Brian O'Neal]

Is it so they can steal something? Sounds like a bunch of jerks. Can't people just go shopping without turning it into some sort of fcebook event?

Brian

It's a way that neighbors can help a local business compete with the big box stores.

Tim

 

[Bob Correll]

No jerks or stealing Brian.
Like Tim said, it's to boost local business, which I think is a wonderful idea!!!
Mom and Pop stores keep the money local.

Here is the news story.

Okay I thought it was some kind of scam, I still think it's strange nowadays that people just can't go shopping without some kind of cause or scene or happening. Gheeze people just go shopping and go home

Brian,
I do not worry about the things other people do while shopping, if it does not effect me.
I do loudly applaud them, if they are doing things that help the local community.

Sorry, but I won't see a possible reply from you, my years left on earth are just too short to not stay in a happy, positive state of mind.

Hmm similar to what most of us do on this site. Answer a question and move on, but some take a thread and turn it to a "happening" No??

Have you checked yet to see if it's actually there? It would be a nice score.

Not yet Shaun, but I bought this today.
Details will be posted tomorrow, in another post

Love that baby blue.

nice score, so what you steal it for?

Vincent.

 

[Shaun R]

Super nice! Maybe the oddest score ever to boot! Here's what's really interesting; My baby Blue had a "flexed" top handle just like that when I got it. I just can't make sense of that. I wonder if Troys was the same? Is it something to do with the color (couldn't be) or wood used?

I can't wait for a closer look tomorow.
