Downtown Comings and Goings.

Read in the Source that Lola's had closed. And Diana's Jewell Box seemed to disappear last week.

I've heard of at least three new stores opening soon, but don't know their names.

Kind of a missed marketing opportunity, don't you think? Nothing creates curiosity as much as butcher paper in the windows. Might as well capitalize on that by putting a sign in the window, right?

So the crazy churn downtown continues. Except that I don't know that it's any more churn than is normal, because I have nothing to compare it to. Someday, this little list is going to be a good resource for someone like me.
