My pard Jo sent me there a few years ago.....coming from Western Mass it was great to remember soubridge and da hay ho! :) A shame what they did to it. I definitely do not miss my tri matic edger however! :):).

PS As an interesting sidelight, when the Wells family bought Globe Optical (Rochester NY) my grandfather came to work for them as the first branch manager in Springfield MA. I haven't thought of that for years.
