[ale] Melton's Is Closed (for now)

[Jeff Hubbs]

I hope it doesn't affect the rest of the stores there; I'm quite a fan 
of Firehouse Guitars on the other end of the strip.  They often have 
some very interesting stuff in there, including the only Strat I've come 
close to deeply coveting (I would have preferred a maple fretboard and a 
traditional pickup configuration, but the dark copper metalflake finish 
was gorgeous).
