Spaces and Places

After an extensive search and eventual full-circle, here’s our new retail space in South Park! We’re the space on the right. The Lily Pad children’s shop just moved in next door from their old location in Hillcrest. Mila loves that store, so we are really happy to be neighbors with them.

On the far right, located on the corner is the old location of Santos coffee. Christi and I lived just down the way for five years and we often made our way there to enjoy a lazy weekend morning. There will be a new restaurant going in that location as well as another new one right across the street.

Looking west down towards the park you can see Ginseng Yoga on the corner. Now I have no excuse to not take yoga classes. Beyond Ginseng is
a smattering of shops ending with Grant’s Market on the corner. Grant’s is a good spot for sandwiches, snacks, and interesting beverages.

And finally, a look from the inside out. Still lots to do. Mila finds the space excellent for riding her scooter around; it also helps her avoid our discussions about paint colors and floor treatments. Understandable.

We’ll be posting regularly, so we hope to hear your comments and feedback about everything. Thanks for checking in.

    Congrats! Christi - send me an email when you open. I do freelance for citysearch.com and I’d love to do a write-up about the shop.

    Three great comments from three great women!

    This has been quite the adventure and we are excited to finally be in brick/mortar and web reality.
