One night at dinner with friends I was complaining that my refrigerator had stopped. No amount of kicking or plugging and unplugging was fixing it. I was grudgingly coming to the realization that I'd have to buy a new fridge. My friends became excited and told me to go over to House of Louie in the morning. The next morning we set off with the scent of ripe food wafting behind us out the door. We had an idea about the general vicinity and were able to locate it finally. It is in the same block as that Trader Joe's downtown, but not actually in the same plaza. The guys at Louie's were awesome. We found rock star parking and fed a half hour into the meter. It was a waste of quarters. We literally went in, checked out the inventory which had plenty of different price ranges represented, chose, gave them a card and left. When I went out to my car, we had been in the store exactly seven minutes. I got a beautiful new refrigerator delivered for a small fee the following day.
