Greenwich Locksmith in the West Village
One of the great things about life, humanity, and America is INGEUNITY: the power of creative imagination.
On “Scouting New York” I found the most amazing post about the little locksmith shop, Greenwich Locksmiths. Be sure you click through and see all the photos.
I love small business like these. Shopkeepers who exude passion for their craft make me happy. This is the intersection of commerce and humanity that, to me, makes consumption palatable. I can ask a friendly, knowledgeable craftsman for a service and look forward to the work being done well, with pride and with beauty.
This is the experience of American life we lose when we shop at Wal-Mart like drones.
To me, lower prices are not worth the loss of our collective soul. A streetside shop, as Greenwich Locksmith demonstrates, is a place of real conversation— not just about the weather or the cut of the key, but about art, beauty, progress, the future, the past and their collision.
I just love this store… I want to run my hands over its facade and say thank you to the inspiration gods who helped the owner bring his vision to the Village.
