So many of the brick & mortar stores have killed themselves, as well....
Yeah they all did self-inflicted obsolescence. Many thought that they did not need to have a good online presence. They were wrong.

There is an in-state chain store left in the area left but it's not the same as having a local shop to stop in and talk cameras (it's more of a strip mall type place). I guess as times and the technology has changed some businesses are able to adapt and some aren't.
I wouldn't mind being close to Pacific Rim! Their site is a great resource and they're good to buy from too.
I think that you would have trouble (like me) making it out of Pacific Rim in a reasonable amount of time. The store is geared more for online sales, but I have found that Mike and staff really enjoys when someone makes the time to swing by and talk vintage cameras. Love that place!
It is what it is.
