Eyes on First Ave Switching Gears

[Broad Bill]

Very well written, I've never met Jamie but I wish her the very best and certainly sorry to hear her story. It's a shame these big corporations could care less for what was always the strength of our communities, enterpenurial spirit, small businesses with fantastic customer service and someone you could actually talk to and have an honest conversation with. Video killed the radio star but the virtual economy and corporate greed, mergers and acquisitions, have killed customer service and too many very successful brand name companies and community businesses. Hopefully some day soon we wake up and realize just how important brick and mortar retail, social interaction and customer service is to business communities across this country. Jamie I wish you and you employees the best, you obviously have a very successful business and following on this site. We need more boutique stores like yours in this country, not less.

Thank you for your post and kind words. As a small, independent business owner I go out of my way to support the same. Big corporations seem to be buying up everything. I think its more important now then ever to get behind and support small businesses so there does not come a day where we do not have any. Thank you again to everyone that has been rallying around me and my team as we make some changes. We are very excited about our future and our continued relationship with all of the members of NJFishing.com.

Picked up my new pair of Bajios a few days ago and wanted to wait until I fished with them to give a review...

I got the readers which I was a little concerned about getting used to... The readers were unobtrusive and seemed like they were only there when I needed them while tying knots and not when unwanted.

I really like the larger frames and wide side bars that block the side sun and they are light as a feather. Really like the fact that they don't have those nose guards on the metal stem that always seem to fall off . Instead they are integrated into the frame.

The lenses I got which are blue mirrored, hard to explain but they make things pop both on the water and on land...

And get this.... Our own Chris Gjertsen and his wife Theresa, long time members here and former Costa model and mate on on the Fishermen, are now a reps for their line.

All good so far and I have no doubt will be in the future with the service you get from Eyes On First Ave.
