OUR New Location is Open!

Dear friends,

It’s been a wild couple of weeks but we are pleased to say that our new location is open and cooking. It’s been great seeing many of you in a physical location again where we can battle the AI dominance of online retail by talking to each other in nuance that compooters and the politically simple still can’t understand. Sunlight! Plants! Over-the-counter-buying! What a pillar of community living this is.

Here we can exchange gossip. We can complain about the government. We can fall in love. Or we can dance like shameless middle-aged idiots. CAN YOU DO ANY OF THIS ONLINE? Well you can do some of it, but it’s not the same. It’s worse.

Joining us in this new Village Green are our vintage furniture dealers and clothiers, refueling our GenX retail muscles. Who left the sandwich in the fridge? Who doesn’t like Glass Tiger? Who always forgets to sign out of the POS system Tom?!? Soon we’ll be smoking around back while returning shopping carts to their rightful owners: THE PEOPLE!

It’s like 1990s downtown London in here. You know? Like when people used to CONGREGATE and shoot the breeze in denim? That’s this place. We love it so much we’re going to MARRY it.

Just look at it!!!

It’s truly lovely. Afternoon or night, this block is now a cultural centre of London and we’re so grateful to be a part of it. Record shopping, FCG, beer across the street, vintage clothes…did we MANIFEST OUR BEST LIFE HERE OR WHAT?!? WHAT OCCULT POWERS ARE AT WORK?!?

If you haven’t been yet please do come down. Celebrate something new in London that’s AWESOME. Forget burning trains and road construction and trees murdered in Harris Park by the City. ENFLAME YOUR JOY! Live an ALL CAPS life and get down here for some smart reads, cool music, sloshy drinks and retro couches.

We’d love to see you.

Much love,
Jason and Vanessa
