I know I'm going to get a lot of blowback for this but---
I live in B. Hill. And, the pricey boutiques are almost all doomed to fail. The expensive t-shirt shop next door to Ouvrez La Porte is always empty! Always! I walk by probably a half dozen times a day and have never once seen anyone in there. And why should I? T-shirts for $150? This 'hood doesn't need any more boutiques. No one cam afford it and if they can, they shop in the city. I know I'm gonna be labeled a hater but honestly, people, do you think you can open a store, put $200 scarves on a rack and they'll fly out the door?
