A stitch in timelessness
Beeeep. Tuesday,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], that tone signaled another customer opening the leading door at George's Shoe and Skate Repair on Grand Avenue in St. Paul. Beeeep. The gear manager for that Gophers men's hockey team had stick bags and goalie gear to become repaired. Beeeep. A lady found get a sheepskin jacket. Beeeep. A dad walked along with a hockey helmet and a pair of skates that needed fixing.
As St. Figure Skating Championships in town,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], the action at George's was warming up. Owner Jerry George had just finished creating a footwear -- with curled-up toes and a ball at the tip of each -- for that carnival's Prince of the East Wind.
He's fabricated elbow-length black leather gloves, including a red "V" for the Vulcans. "They had me get on my knees and tapped having a sword," Jerry George says of the Vulcan who dubbed him "Prince of Stitches."
But, really, it's always busy. While old-time skate- and shoe-repair places fade to black across the nation, George's has continued into its fourth generation, with Jerry's sons Brian and Dan using the business to the Web and,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], as a result,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], all over the world.
They now fix hockey pads, gloves and skates from 47 states and from as far as Australia. Yet,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], they still hustle to the front counter to greet customers with a smile.
Beeeep. Nancy Kelly were built with a few pairs of shoes to be fixed. "We've been coming for so long as they've been open,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]," she said. "My husband is cheap. He doesn't want to go out and purchase new shoes. So he buys quality shoes after which brings them in here. They get it done real quick. And they're nice."
For nearly a century, a George has been fixing shoes and boots in the United States. His son, Said, later came to McIntosh to become listed on his father. Said eventually took his craft to St. Paul's West Side. And,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], in 1963, Said George opened a shop within the brand-new Har Mar Mall in Roseville. Jerry George and his brother Ron learned alongside Said, their father. In 1977, Jerry George bought a classic shoe repair business on Grand Avenue.
He inherited the former owner's hockey repair business with the Minnesota North Stars and Minnesota Fighting Saints. That grew to incorporate Gophers hockey and football,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], lots of senior high school and youth hockey and even the Minnesota Vikings cheerleaders. "I have to custom-size those boots they wear,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]," Jerry George,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], 57,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], explained. "They have very shapely legs and that i have to cut the boot, that is too wide, and re-fit it."
Then, he chuckled. "That's one area of the business I don't think I'll show my boys how you can do."
Beeeep. Another group of goalie pads. They require new straps, the girl said. Could they be done today?
Dan George, 27,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], an old high school goalie at Roseville, creates those. He and brother Brian enjoy the business,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], he said. They hung out at the shop once they were young, doing little jobs to keep busy. Now,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], cobbling is within their blood too. "It's a dying trade. They do not teach this anymore. But we love it."
Said Jerry: "Did you meet my sons,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]? This option are great. Better than I was at their age."
Photos fill a wall. Sen. Norm Coleman to firefighters and cops, have signed photos of thanks to George members of the family. flags from leather and gave them to the St. Paul Police Department and the St. Paul Fire Department.相关的主题文章：
