Jeff the packrat strikes again with a blast from the past... A classic business card from some friends of mine and one their first businesses together. "Shorty & Bobe's"My friend Tony had been saying for years that he was going to open a Christmas tree lot one day. His dad owned the perfect location and he was going to make a killing.
In the final analysis, I'm sure the amount of time and the amount of freezing was way more than made it worth it because the Christmas tree business was a one year venture. One of the lasting benefits of my packrat skills was unearthing this card. The inside jokes abound:
*Shorty and Bobe were two very funny nicknames
*"Home of the $9.99 Christmas Tree"
*"Free rope with every purchase"
*"Expert Tree Sales"
*The fact that they even had business cards was the most hilarious part
Alas, Shorty & Bobe have moved on to much more lucrative and well-thought business ventures, but it all began with two months sitting around a trash barrel fire at the corner of Belair & Moravia Roads at a place called "Shorty & Bobe's" - Custom Tree Trimming on Premises.
