There Have Been, In My Long Life, Many Times When I Have Been Like: "I Really Need a Spring, and Goshdarnit, I Have No Idea Where to Get One."



I failed to capture three important things about the Modern Spring shop: 1) several shops on this street also only sell springs. 2) next there are shops that sell only ball bearings, only bumpers, only gaskets, etc. 3) The horn shops and horn repair shops are not nice places to hang out. way less peaceful than a good ol spring shop.

On a serious note, I want to say that I really hate videos that just shove a camera in people's faces and start speaking to them in a language that they don't understand. If some Hindi speaker came up to me on Mass Avenue and started speaking to me in Hindi on camera I would come off as a confused fool. Anyway, despite my qualms with my own interviewing skills, I just wanted to make all you people back home aware of just how easy it is to find what you are looking for here. These markets kick our Wal-Mart's and hardware store's asses.
