A true story of three young men who came from a small town are given the opportunity to open a store in Upper Darby, Pennsylvania. A Head Shop. They've never owned or managed a store before. Two of them work full time in a tool and die shop and the third one is a senior in high school. See how they started in 1969 working together building a thriving business that surprised even their closest friends. It was a different time many things in the world were changing and they had to change with them. Navigating through the competitive business world and at the same time managing their personal lives. Starting in their hometown of Lansdowne the story moves to Terminal Square in Upper Darby where they sub rent a loft, they named The Balcony. It was not easy, many obstacles came their way. Since they were a Head Shop, they were aware many believed they were selling drugs. Overcoming their personal problems became the hard part. Running the business came surprisingly easier. You would have thought the partying, drug use, a stolen car, a buyout, bootleg albums, marriages, the FBI, women, death, two new neighboring malls, additions, a move, a divorce, bootleg tee shirts, would have brought them down, but they didn't. The Balcony survived nineteen years.
Mike was eighteen when he joined his brother and their friend to open The Balcony. The education he got during those nineteen years in The Balcony was priceless. When Yoko entered their lives Mike knew no matter what he did his relationship with his brother would never be the same. The pain of losing that relationship stayed with him for many years, and in the end when his brother died, he knew he had to write the story about their journey in The Balcony together. Mike lives in North Wilmington DE with his husband and their two dogs.
