This is where I got my first hair cut and I didn't get a single one anywhere else until I was in high school.  I loved the place and have very fond memories of when Al and Louie used to cut my hair and talk/joke around with my dad.  I even did a report some time around 3rd grade on the place.
When Louie retired, followed by Al, the place went down hill.  It moved into the back parking lot from it's original location on Main Street and a new barber took over named Greg.
Greg is a very nice guy and fun to talk with but towards the end of my visits to this shop, Greg was getting more and more pessimistic and was always complaining every time I went in.  It got to be a little annoying and I wasn't getting the best quality cuts so I decided to branch out.  And I went to college in SoCal so now I rarely get my hair cut at home.
I haven't been back for a few years now so I don't know if Greg is the only one running the place still but I still see the barber's pole turning.
