Purdy funny

I live in a very small town in Ohio named Findlay. I am 25 and have been skating since I was about eight. Us skaters have never had anything like a skateshop to hang out in or a park to skate at. Two years ago the city put a skatepark in. If you are lucky you can skate there; it's just an old tennis court with some ramps. The only shops in town are the bike shops that have two-to-four boards to pick from. I know you can always mail order, but when you've got a check on Friday you want to go buy and play that very day, not buy and wait, you know? I really want to start a true skateshop but I am not at all sure how, and I'm looking for help. I'm not looking for a hand out, just a heads up. Help would be great.
