[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sorry to learn the news about Sullivan’s. As with Johnson’s, I only went there a few times a year, but I was a consistent customer even though I was not a frequent one.  I’ll miss them.  I’ll also use this as a nudge to support Proper Topper in their newest location.  [/quote]

Second Proper Topper! Fantastic gift shop.

If we want independent stores in this area, make an effort to spend at those stores. Communicate with the owners (likely local residents also) about services that would encourage your patronage. Make it a value that you don't compromise.

Spend your money at:

Sullivan's NOT Target or Amazon and not Michael's. 
Rodman's, Wagshalls and YES! Organic NOT Amazon/Whole Foods or Target.  
Apex Optical not Warby Parker
Bourbon Coffee not Starbucks. 
ACE Hardware not Amazon. 
PetMac not Petco 
Bandit Taco not Chipotle.

PLEASE ADD MORE TO THIS LIST.

Contact Tenley Main Street and express your hopes and dreams for this neighborhood.

ALL the stores in the underground and above ground Maza gallerie have closed (except TJMaxx and the hair salon). Across the street at the Paviillion, only Cheesecake Factory remains open. Nordstrom Rack closed. 
We will become a shopping desert if we don't spend our $$$ locally.

I agree with add to this list, but there is an outrageous rent problem as well. The landlords make money when tenants pay outrageous rent. They also make money in tax write off when properties sit empty. We need to talk to the ANC on why there is not a time limit to how long they are able to 'write off' these massive sums at taxpayer expense when clearly there are people who wish to rent, albeit at a more reasonable monthly fee.[/quote]
