herkimer, the SoHo store closed some time in 2008. I picked up some great things for the garden over the years. I’m going to try and get there this weekend. I read elsewhere that they decided to close because they were unable to find a buyer for the chain.
Try the French Toast at Saraghina. You can still get the pizza’s as well during brunch. Montrose, isn’t the garden great?! I can’t wait until they open the counter area at the back. Owner said they will sell food-to-go in the AM. And I want to steal that tractor in the garden, unless slopefarm gets it first or Rob destroys it to keep the farmers at bay.
The people who are putting up the extension also own the empty lot that fronts on Halsey. Haven’t seen the work lately as I am getting home when it is dark. What is wrong with the extension?
thanks for the tip CGer. wasn’t there a smith & hawken in SoHo? it’s really too bad they’re closing, I loved that place but mostly couldn’t really afford it for myself (hello Lowes). Just shopped there for gifts, etc. Speaking of gardening, my hollyhocks are 8 feet tall!! It has been a very exciting summer in the garden. Do you have one?
Ok, so nobody volunteered to be DTM and I had to go do it myself. I noticed heck_of_a_job_brownie added this to the Awaye thread:
“So I did some digging and was able to find the original Awaye photos (still on the server). They seem to be very
poor copies of the originals:

Crabtree & Evelyn bankrupt as well

I’m kinda busy at work. Who’s the DTM (Designated Thread Monitor) today? Anything interesting happening elsewhere? Anything Awaye Realty-esque?
