I'm glad the plaque on the front of the building is still there. If anyone ever wants it removed please let me know as I would be very interested in obtaining it. There is a similar plaque on St Stanislaus Church.<BR/><BR/>As a little girl I remember visiting him in his office which would have been the through right front door. He lived in the apartment upstairs.<BR/><BR/>My uncle, John Wolinnin worked with him. Then when my Grandfather died he went to work at Jerema's<BR/>My grandfather passed away on 9/15/57.<BR/> <BR/>Please e-mail me at madason1@aol.comJeremiah Mosshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11791516443125872364noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-683382864156505640.post-14622288109314785952008-02-11T13:07:00.000-05:002008-02-11T13:07:00.000-05:00I've always been one to try to favor stores owned ...I've always been one to try to favor stores owned by small business owners over chains, but I've become almost messianic about this the last few years.<BR/><BR/>Just this weekend, I had to get a haircut for the first time in years (I was shaving the noggin until recently). Sure, there's Supercuts and Dramatics for a cheap-and-dirty factory experience in a sterile, fluorescent environment sure to leave you drowsy. Or you can go for the wood-paneled boudoir look of a place like Jeffrey Indyke's, pay a little more, and actually have a laugh riot chatting with a great person - nay, <I>neighbor</I> - while getting a decent cut.<BR/><BR/>The good news is, not <I>all</I> landlords are gouging greedy monsters. A number of landlords on University have kept rents reasonable for the stores that have been around for decades, because they realize those storefronts add value to their property and to University itself. Replacing a great florist or lingerie store with "Ni-Hao's Fresh Taco Express LOLOLOL" will devalue their property and the neighborhood.<BR/><BR/>Some of these stores survived (and even prospered during) the Great Depression. They prefer that longevity to a fly-by-night Ralph Lauren outpost that answers to shareholders.L'Emmerdeurhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03004040303058104490noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-683382864156505640.post-55982843916937839382008-02-11T12:39:00.000-05:002008-02-11T12:39:00.000-05:00thanks for writing in, bodanna, and letting people...thanks for writing in, bodanna, and letting people know where they can find you. best of luck in the new location!Jeremiah Mosshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11791516443125872364noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-683382864156505640.post-78694768017062006872008-02-11T12:29:00.000-05:002008-02-11T12:29:00.000-05:00I love your article.

Its true that the rent for these places are ridiculous, especial when you only get about 5 square feet to work with.<BR/>As for Bodanna, We moved to a bigger and better location in Soho. We now reside at 376 Broome St (Between Mulberry and Mott Streets) Right Now we are under construction, and will not re-open until mid 2008.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
