I'll be back at the end of the month so I hope to finally drop by.

I saw your mom do a ollie to cooch drop straight down the big black pole, it was gnarly. she defiantly shut that shit down
At least when you're a washed-out hipster douchebag in NY, you can milk it at some decent looking, hard to skate spots. In LA you're just a tan-lined faggot in a school yard somewhere.
My favorite shop was Threds and Sleds in Haddonfield NJ. RIP.Nocturnal- Had a lot of friends working there on and off over the years. My last apartment in Philly was on S. 5th so I'd still just skate or ride my bike over a couple times a week. A lot of the time just to chill and waste time.Kinetic- Awesome dudes, running an awesome shop in Wilmington, DE. If you're semi close to it in DE/South Jersey/PA I'd advise checking it out then skating 7th street. It's a super nice diy park.Humidity- I have lots of family in NOLA, but never got to check it out til my last trip during Halloween. It rules. The dudes who worked there were sick. No vibes. They're cool and genuinely seem like they want to talk to you. As someone who doesn't quite identify as cool, it made me feel cool. Not to mention they carry pretty much only carry the brands I like including ones I hadn't seen in any shops before.Orchard- It's really sick and the bowl is cool. People are nice too.This is getting kinda tiresome. I like most shops I've ever been too. I like going and checking out new shops, it's kinda neat.
Let me preface this post with the fact that I am slightly inebriated, very uneducated and I havent read any papers or done any research at all, or read your post really.
Labor or DLX
My local favorite is Labor James, Tom, Adam holds it down!KCDC Amy is always so kind.Favorite online to shop is Socal skateshop they are usually the first to get the good stuff and if im desperate skatewarehouse/tactics.
I used to love Special Sauce in Long Island before they closed their doors almost a decade ago though. Man I miss that place...
Circle A in San Jose, Bobs a cool dude.

Pacific Drive in SD has got to be the best location in the US for a skate shop—one block from the Pacific Ocean. Plus, Truman Hooker works there, so it’s cool to be waiting on by a legitimate skater.In NJ times is tough for skate shops. Closest one to me is Prime. NJ skate shop had 4 locations but is down to two. Division East is closed. Just Learned Threads and Sleds is closed.Didn’t Thrasher or Transworld used to publish a list? I used like to see how many shops each state had.
Plus Orlando.
I must have been tripping last night

Xen, i dont live in LA, but is Lottie's any good?my fav is Blue Tile Lounge in Toronto. They've got an online store as well for any canadians looking to avoid paying duties. https://bluetilelounge.ca/they're currently working on a new vid that'll be out soon which should be dope as theyve got morgan smith, bobby dekeyzer, jed anderson, lee yankou and a bunch of other sick locals on the teamOld Adrift in Toronto when it was on augusta was awesome too. loved going there as a kid to watch videos and skate in the back in the winter.
