Headline should read... New LBS: fact or phantom? :)
About a month ago, driving down a busy street, I spotted a large sign leaning against the side of an old house (used to be a palm reader's shop/home). Painted on the sign was... 'Exotic Beads and Jewelry'!!! I passed by again a week or two later and the sign was still leaning against the side of the building but there were new steps and exterior painting in progress but no cars parked in front. I tried to find a phone number for the business, no luck.
Passing by a few days ago I see the sign has been installed but on the side of the house, not the front (?), the windows are covered in newspaper and the exterior painting is complete. And no one ever seems to be there actually doing the work! (oh and during this time I've gotten half a dozen phones calls from various people letting me know there was a new bead shop in town... they saw the same sign and for some reason thought of me!) :)
Don't these phantom 'Exotic Bead' people know what chaos it has caused in my life to hold that sign out in front of me, like a carrot, but neglect to post a phone number or Opening Soon banner (and a opening date would be nice as well!) :) :) :) I continue to drive by, watch and wait... the LBS stalker!
sheez... some people! ;)
