I no longer live there, so I don't know if the store moved, or just went out of business. I can't imagine that it would be out of business, given that when I was on the yard, the D9 at OSU pretty much used that store exclusively.

Angel,
As someone here indicated, Spirit Concepts moved to Westerville around the fall of 2006. I mean WAY OUT in the boonies Westerville (near State Route 3 and Maxtown Rd), about 3 miles east of the Polaris Mall.
A little background as to why. I spoke with Bob the owner, and he said that it was because the owner of the building he was leasing got an offer from Fifth Third Bank offering him so much money to lease the space occupied by SC. The building owner asked Bob if he could beat Fifth Third's rent offer. Bob said no, so SC got "evicted". So essentially SC got priced out of their current location.
The new location is nothing like the old one. Basically it is located at an industrial strip mall, with 1/3 of the space available, and that really isn't retail oriented like the old location, so you won't see too much out for display. Personally, I am interested in buying more nalia from him, but driving 15 miles out of the way to do is really isn't enough of a motivating factor, so I am saving my energy for when I really really want to buy something.
