    The problem I have with large chain stores is the gradual decline in product quality.

    Agreed. Most of the expensive buys are built to look like they will last long. Looks can be deceiving.

    I support local tropical fish shops. Just spent over a grand at one on a beautiful tank, stand, the works, after 15 years out of the hobby. Does that count?

    Odd how these are the "job creators" certain groups want us to picture upon mentioning the words.

    Chai One is a mom & pop outfit that created a ton of jobs right here in Houston and even helped us land Dwight Howard.
