Talking of indy shops, I think it would great to have a thread on indy shops with details on location and contact (name/email/phone). Also if they specialize in something in particular, that would be useful in the posts as well.
This could prove quite useful in the long run. If possible make it sticky, even more useful.
I don't know any indy shops so I can't really start anything useful. Maybe Tozo is a good place to start?
