| Sole survivor walking away Tue, 6 May 2008 12:35:06 -0500 Nece Walker rises from the worn chair at the Bowling Green Shoe Shine Parlor and greets a customer picking up a pair of shoes for a wedding the next day. “How you feeling?” Walker asks. “Are you taking care of yourself?” The conversation drifts around health, the wedding, family and the weather - banter more typical of longtime friends bumping into each other than of a business transaction. But it’s the typical interplay between customers and Walker in what is reportedly Kentucky’s only surviving shoe shine parlor. But those conversations may also soon be a thing of the past as Walker plans her retirement after 26 years of running the parlor at 941 College St. in downtown Bowling Green. “It’s just time,” Walker says of her plan to sell the business. “It’s just time.” Walker learned how to shine and care for shoes in St. Louis. She and her husband, James, moved to Bowling Green when he was transferred to work at the General Motors Bowling Green Assembly Plant in 1981. Nece Walker noticed there were no shoe shine parlors here and quickly filled the niche with a shop on Main Avenue in 1982. Within months, she moved the business to its current location. Over the years, she’s added dying shoes to her business, but the parlor on College Street has otherwise changed little. Shoe shine benches taken from long-gone hotels and barber shops line the walls, along with framed shoe mitts, family photos and shoe figurines. A small television near the front door sits opposite chairs often filled with longtime customers and friends passing the time. “I’ve had some customers since the day I opened and they’re still coming,” Walker says. “When I first started, it was mainly men. Now I have just as many women customers.” Harold Brantley has been making the short trek from his appraisal company downtown to Walker’s shop for 26 years. “She’s a very fine lady who does a great job,” Brantley says. “I always enjoyed visiting with her and I’ll miss her immensely.” While Brantley frequents the shop for standard shoe shining, Walker has gotten her share of unusual requests over the years, such as cleaning and conditioning leather saddles, motorcycle seats and a clown’s mega-sized footwear. And despite the fact that she’s lost “several good customers over the years,” and that the trend in footwear leans toward disposable shoes, Walker remains busy. That’s partly due to word of mouth, loyal customers and the shop’s location on a busy corner. “The stop light and the window are my best advertising,” she says, pointing to the large window facing the corner of College and 10th Avenue. The window and the TV are known to draw people in. “They’ll come in and ask me to put the ballgame on and I’ll put it on,” she says. She later recalls the pedestrian who came in to watch the devastation of Sept. 11, 2001. For almost 18 years, Maybell Mansfield has joined Walker in watching the world go by from the corner. Mansfield owned the barber shop adjoining the shoe shine parlor before selling it last year. She still comes in twice a week to cut hair - and to catch up with Walker over the small brick wall separating the two business’ doorways. “We’ve shared many a conversation over this wall. We’re like family and she’s like my sister,” Mansfield says. As for an imminent end to the over-the-wall conversations, “It’ll be a big change,” Mansfield says. She adds with a smile, “but I know where she lives.” Walker says she’s hoping to find someone willing to take over the business and keep it operating. “It’ll have to be someone who loves people,” she says. And though she says she has no specific retirement plans, “I know I’m going to stay busy.” She’s sure of one other thing: “I’m going to miss the people - I’ve met so, so many people who are like family to me.” |
