I’m stocked up for awhile, but does anyone know another place where I can find them?

Who actually shops at that crappy shoestore?!

I never visited often enough but have bought a handful of things there over the years and always stopped in while passing. I never had any bad experiences, so strange to hear such negativity! I guess I’m lucky.

It was like something you’d expect at a Nieman Marcus in Dallas in the 1960s and it was the last time I ever went there. I’m thrilled that she’s leaving – hopefully something cool will come in.

They didn’t have it, but the young woman who helped me was nice. I was in there this weekend to see if I wanted anything on sale and I overheard an employee saying “Georgetown somewhere,” so I wonder if they’re moving?

I thought they had cute stuff, but that lady was such a meanie! I stopped going because there because I didn’t want to give her my money.

(Just like I don’t go into the photo shop next door anymore because of the obnoxious “Help Clyde pay off his new car SALE!” and “Help Clyde pay for his trip to Greece SALE!” signs. Ick.)

I didn’t know about the reputation of this place and don’t think I’ve ever met this woman everyone seems to have a problem with.

The selection of counter culture and locally roasted coffees is the best I’ve seen in the area, and the prices are competitive.

She’s just a mean woman and hates all people.
