cupcakes cupcakes everywhere
« on: January 02, 2012, 01:33 pm »
I was just driving past the old E2/Hotspot/Paris location, and saw a sign: cupcake boutique.  With Hodgepodge opening and OMG in the village, this makes three cupcake stores, I guess...

That's six straight days on a cupcake & tattoo bender...with the seventh as a day of rest.

Somewhere out there, someone is dreaming of a magical land, full of tattoos, tacos, and cupcakes.  ANd here we are, living in heaven.

But I still wish we had a duckpin bowling alley

You forgot the Beer. They are probably wanting to add beer to the mix. We have it too!

I guess the days of checking out the neighborhood you're opening your business in are over?

Well, two of the new cupcake places aren't open yet, and I would imagine that they didn't realize each other was opening (that and the place on Moreland  has been attempting to get started for over a year). I don't know if the places on Moreland even think about the Village as being geographic competition?
That said, there's something happening at the former Kasan Red/Chas location! The new rockabilly shop, Italian bakery hopefully opening soon, thought I saw a new boutique that looked like it was stocked with many handmade items...lots happening in and around the Village!!

One of those "I'll believe it when it's open and taking my money" things.   They've been promising that place for how long now?

I heard 529 took the Kasan Red space to expand, which makes a lot of sense.

There's definitely been progress...window's been painted there's a lot of stuff going on inside.

Yeah, it does feel like things are hopping.  MSR expanding, 529 expanding, Grease Monkeys, the new thing going in where Blue Frog was...
