Anyone from Ohio?

>Hi all-
Awhile back there was a great old tool shop in downtown Marrietta called The Tool Merchant run by John Walter. I happen to be in Cleveland for Thanksgiving and was trying to get a hold of them to see if they are still open, but haven't been able to (website isn't up, and phone is no answer). Does anyone know if they are still open?
If not, are there any other good hand tool haunts that you might recommend between Cleveland and Cambridge?
Thanks!

>Marrietta was badly floored in mid-october, with very little warning.
The news showed Front St. with water half way up the windows of many of the shops.
Depending on insurance (or lack of) many of these business's may not be able to return. In any event, that shop would require massive amounts of work to salvage all that old iron.

I wish he was still there. I've got two trips to Marietta in the next two months to visit my parents. :(
