Yep! But, the "Similar Threads at the bottom only come up after you submit or initiate a post. If you want to find some answers prior to submitting a new thread, use the Search option at the top of the page.

Flint MI airport

This may sound a little crazy!

Before I made the change to patent leather for basketball, I used to use this guy at the Flint, MI airport for my basketball shoes. I used to fly through there on business in a previous career and another ref friend told me about him.

You can ship the shoes to him and he will shine them with his own concoction of fufu dust and magic. They look unbelievable for the entire season. They do not scuff easily, they shine like no tomorrow. Supposedly what he uses is patented, at least that is his claim.

I have not used him for several years and could not find his card. Maybe someone on here knows.

Shoe Shine

"It's the best shine this side of the Mason Dixon Line!" People actually box up and ship their shoes from around the country to Joe's Shoe Shine inside Bishop International Airport. His stand is located just up the land-side escalator to the right. Shoe shine hours vary seasonally and Joe is in on weekdays only.

His hours are:
Monday:
10:00am-4:00pm

Tuesday, Thursday:
10:00am-5:00pm

Wednesday:
10:00am-2:00pm

The software driving this site is simply fantastic, and obviously one of the strength of the site is the search function. Crafting the language of the search is the tricky part. Fortunately, there is some algorithm driven action at the bottom of the page, (and now at the top ).

Yesterday, trying to find 'history' on two players jumping, firmly grabbing the ball, the stronger of the two pulls the ball down, other won't let go, you have a classic 'reach around' position (sorry kids). I couldn't find the right combination of words to bring up what I needed, but 97.5% of the time, the answers are here!
