Anyone know where this store went?

I am taking a break from the hobby due to the fact that my 75 gal. tank had a seal break last year and my breakfast room was flooded along with about $700 of LS dead....
I live in StL and the store I always went to was Saltwater City in Clayton....it moved out to west county, and I went to check it out the other day, but it's closed. I really liked the guy who owned it and I was just wondering if anyone on the board is from StL and knows what happened to Daryl or why he closed the store.
thanks!

he moved to Olive in front of Friday's and Culpeppers in a strip mall. We drove by not too long ago and he was gone from there.
I don't know why Daryll closed. I know his son lived by us in Ballwin. Strange. We like Andy's on 141 and Vance. Loved Beltds in Hazelwood, but we got a few bad fish from there.
Pet Emporium in Clayton (I think thats it) is good, but I thought their prices were high.

Thanks so much for the reply...Daryll is one who got me into the hobby, and his store in Clayton was pretty successful I thought. he also had a ton of knowledge on marine aquariums...a really nice guy.
i'll try the places you mentioned. thanks a lot!
