The owner says this is more than the end of her store, but the end of one of the key ways she keeps her son's memory alive.
SAN DIEGO, Calif. - Crystal Pier Bait and Tackle sits at the end of the Pacific Beach pier and has been a staple in the community since opening 13 years ago. The shop sells beach-themed trinkets and rents out fishing gear.
“My favorite part of the shop is seeing the smile of the kid coming down with the smile on their face of catching their first fish. There’s just nothing like it. It’s a memory they’re going to forget their whole life. And to be a part of that is so special,” she said with tears in her eyes. The end of her business is emotional because of her family’s past as well. Her son, James, initially opened the business 13 years ago. He took his life in 2017 and she took over ownership, so the shop is her connection to him.
