The Death of an Era?

There are folks in both stores- mostly the military folks who haven't been here for years, but some that were loyal customers of the other owner that ruined Hardcastle's name forcing Ray to change it to Nemesis- that are saying we've "killed" Nemesis, as if we wanted to see Nemesis gone
