“This looks exactly how it looks when I used to come to downtown Mesa when I was young. It’s amazing that this place is still here all these years later.”
Jeff Hershauer is a longtime customer who over the years has developed a bit of typewriter addiction.
“It’s like any habit, right? You get into scotch, you want to try every distillery that ever made scotch. You get into guitars, there’s so many different [types]. And it’s exactly like that. I set to get one typewriter, found one online — a 1949 Smith Corona — and yada, yada, yada — 40-ish machines later, here I am,” said Hershauer.
