Ahem… That’s my photo.
Oops! Thanks, BOldbury — we’ve corrected the image credit.
Montrose has a flea market??? Who what?
Thanks!
The Allen Center article is full of typos and poor writing. Yuck.
That antique shop has been there since 1970…that’s about the same span of years that the previous version on Montrose lasted, so I suppose it’s fitting that it will be remade into something reflecting its current more edgeless environment, one where wabi-sabi is wedged into the wayside and the anxious serenity of prosperity permeates the place. At least the building is being saved for now.
In that particular flea market, you have an excellent chance of actually finding a few fleas. Redevelopment or this building is a good idea and the extra parking in the back is excellent. Get those cars off the street!
