I just noticed something about that area. There's a Micro-Center only 10min away. It's an up and coming franchise business in several states. If anyone is familiar, that is basically the next-gen electronics store that's become trendy in a way. They source many of the modern components and modules, etc typically found in today's DIY projects. Something what Radio Shack was in the 60s,70s,80s. That would be a major concern for competition.

I remember some 20 years ago when the only three Microcenters were 2 in Columbus ( they use to be head quartered there - and might still ), and Mayfield Hts ( a suburb of Cleveland. ). When I lived in Mentor, I use to go there a lot, and also here: http://www.electronicsurplus.com/ Fortunately, being where I'm at in MD now, there are a couple Microcenters within reasonable driving distance. But, sadly, there is nothing like Electronics Surplus. As a side note, anyone from the Cleveland area may remember Electronics Surplus as Western Salvage until sometime in the late '80s or early '90s when they were bought out and changed their name. The use to be in Downtown on Prospect. All from a day when Cleveland was a great city ... before they tore down the steal mills to build a Walmart ... but I digress ... - Derrik -- -- Derrik Derrik Walker v2.0, RHCE dwalker@doomd.net "Those UNIX guys, they think weird!" -- John C.
