For anyone in the Rochester NY area, you've probably heard of and perhaps been to Despatch Junction.
Unfortunately, it caught fire on Monday evening and burned to nothing.
Here's a couple of links...

What a great place. It was an old rail station located next to still active tracks. They had a ton of used inventory and it was just fun to browse around and look for that 'gem'. Then a train would roll by and everyone, especially kids, would run over to the back window and watch... then back to browsing.
I feel bad for the owner and employees. It was a lifestyle for them and I'm sure they'll miss the old shop more than anyone.
Sad news...
