Blue Eagle is largely guitars, and acoustic. Love the place. My first day in Athens for student orientation was the day Elvis Presley died. I went into Blue Eagle with my dad, saw a McCartney style Hofner bass - I had to have it - he bought it for me! can't see or think about Blue Eagle w/o thinking about Elvis and Paul!

I would certainly think there would be a market for a more full service music store - including band instruments, etc., if they can get on their feet with good inventory to get established. I would believe most drive to Lancaster or Parkersburg now (or farther).

Overhead - now that is an interesting point. That's one of the reasons that about the only thing that can actually survive on Court Street is a bar unless the business owner also owns the building. As for a music store, I would say if the demand was there, we'd already have one.
