Sometimes Comics Shops Open, Too

I run links to enough article about comics shops closing that I thought I'd mention this piece about a new comic book shop in Conway, Arkansas. It's interesting to me for a few reasons: 1) the article makes this sound like this is the first store ever in Conway, which I don't think is true; 2) towns of 50,000 with a college component are exactly the sorts of towns that need their own comics shops if that system is to work; 3) there's a lot of talk about retail as this sort of ongoing act of charity that I find odd but certainly see a lot of.
