Swords and Dreams

The wares for sale at this storefront (7143 W. Greenfield Ave.) make little sense until you meet the proprietor, Tom McNeil, whose never-boring personality accounts for the emporium’s snakes, lizards, broadswords, switchblades and chunks of silver ore. McNeil would like to sell or hand off the store, he says, but he’s having a hard time finding a good match. His next adventure? Gold prospecting.
