Ohiobucks Posted January 29, 2008 Report Share Posted January 29, 2008 ...There was a massive fire at The Rivers Edge in Mount Vernon, Ohio this morning, from the looks of the pictures on the Mount Vernon News website, it is a complete loss. Be thinking of The Murphy's, husband and wife owned this small shop for a number of years now, can't imagine what they are going through right now. Hopefully insurance will step up for them.

AdvantageTimberLou Posted January 29, 2008 Report Share Posted January 29, 2008 Terrible news, prayers go out to the Murphy's. Hope they can rebuild. Aren't too many good pro shops around and I know if Tom went there they were one of the best! Prayer they recover and rebuild better than ever!

ruttinbuc Posted January 29, 2008 Report Share Posted January 29, 2008 That is a shame to have to rebuild an established business. Even with insurance coverage it can't be easy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More than that, these guys had just moved into that new shop a little over a year ago I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
