Maybe I'll win the
lottery and buy out the new owner

Methinks you just "did" win the lottery. Sometimes the best deals are the
ones we don't make.

Wow, I'm in the western suburbs of Chicago,
....and this has been one of the best threads I've ever
read in this newsgroup.
As a late contribution, I will say that I think that
to survive in the retail stained glass business in
our suburban area these days, you have to offer extras.
Primarily classes and supplies, etc.
That opinion was pretty much given to me by the
owners of the very few, stable, SG retailers that have
survived the economy of the last few years.
