1. you can get hunter fans at the bigboxhell. I've bought them there. I do love hunter fans, though. I was living in my first apartment when the rental company installed one in my bedroom as a "thank you" for renewing after my first year (I had three choices, that was the one I went with). It has survived ten years and three moves and still runs like a champ! And I got it for FREE!
2. Unfortunately, we're moving to the lower Shenandoah Valley, where most of the mom and pop places have already gone under to the "evil empire of WM" as my wife calls it.
3. Just to be devil's advocate, if the mom and pop places are going to go out of business, how am I going to get my great customer service?
