When I say trickle-down economics is a hoax, this is what I mean.

I spent the weekend in Galena, IL and came across this store on Main Street. I emailed a different shot to Rebecca, our @editrix on Friday but had to go back to take another picture Saturday because my wife pointed out that I'd missed an important detail on the 3rd floor.
