In the seventh season of the magnificent drama "The West Wing" by Aaron Sorkin, they flashed forward 3 years to the dedication ceremony of President Bartlet's Presidential Library. It was a tender moment, and well constructed too. At once, it answered questions about the future and opened new ones about what we would see in the episodes to come.
Overall it left the impression that, no matter what happened next, Jed Bartlet would leave a lasting legacy. His views, his politics, and his passion would live onward in this other world. This store is a chance to pretend that maybe, just maybe, that legacy lives on in this world.
We could use that now more than ever.

Regardless, prepare to get thwapped.
Visit sunny Amity Island! The water's warm! Absolutely positively no chance of getting eaten alive by a giant mutant great white shark. Pay no attention to everything the chief of police is saying.
