His work is impeccable and inexpensive. No tickets are given for shoes left: "You'll know your shoes" he says with his beautiful accent...The proprietor is superannuated and I hope he stays healthy til 120. At night he draws the window shade and all is calm:-)<br />Butchery on Bond Streethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11900471311729729404noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-683382864156505640.post-83336068266934563742015-07-29T21:20:10.391-04:002015-07-29T21:20:10.391-04:00They always did a great job on my shoes and boots....They always did a great job on my shoes and boots.

Nothing of practical value is being replaced: supermarkets, laundromats, barber shops, hardware stores and the like.<br />Yet those uppity civilian aristocrats who roam around and patronize all those expensive places always manage to look so well-groomed and polished and so well-dressed.<br />How do they maintain their "good looks" and where do they find all their nice clothes? And how are they able to keep their outfits so nice and clean and pressed if all the dry cleaning businesses are no longer around after having been displaced to make room for all these fancy establishments that now stand in their place?<br />Are all services performed by outfits found online somewhere?
