    David, it seems stationery stores have gone the way of the neighborhood hardware store. But hey, we need more wing joints, right?

    How sad! I worked at the La Verne location when it first opened, from 1979 to 1989. The Ellsworths are a great family. I know that Ralph Sr. passed away earlier this year. The Glendora location is still open, I am not sure the what the plans are for that location.

    David:

    It is ironic that Kurt mentioned hardware stores in the above comment. This Ellsworth’s location took the place of the La Verne Hardware store about 8 years ago.

    Any indication of whether it’s opening up somewhere else?

    [It closed. Nobody in 2011 is opening stationery stores, are they? -- DA]

    Bad economy, “pop-up” stores, food trucks, online options to buy — even stationary stores are declining.
