“Dear PoPville,
It looks like a new indoor plant store will be opening in Pleasant Plains on the corner of Euclid and Sherman. This space was previously City Corner Market. Signage for Cap and Stem went up this week and they seem to be making good progress on the interior, however, I wasn’t able to tune into on an opening date.
As an update, I walked past the store front again this morning and I think they may actually sell mushrooms? Not entirely clear…”

Speaking of quits, I think the old Footaction across the street closed here back in 2010, can’t find my original post but it was around then and it’s been vacant ever since. Seems like a prime spot to be vacant for so long. Any guesses as to why? Simply asking too much? It’s been vacant since well before any pandemic issues.

Things are continuing to come up aces in Cleveland Park. First Captain Cookie soft opened (grand opening Saturday), Thai Love is getting close to opening and the Little Black Bird wine bar opens today.
