“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.

When I got a car recently, I decided to forgo the costly parking garage and take my chances street parking instead. Much to my confusion, I’m being regularly ticketed for parking on my own street.
