Day 1 Business, Year 1 Business
Various folks we know are celebrating on Friday. In one case, it's the birth of a new business. In the other, a one-year anniversary will be cited.
The newbie is Local Harvest Grocery, located at 3148 Morganford. Founded by Patrick Horine and Shannon "Maddie" Earnest, the micro-grocery will have a heavy emphasis on local and organic foods, as the name would suggest. The opening is set for this Friday; hours are set for 8 a.m.-7 p.m. on Fridays, with the full list of hours available at the website: www.localharvestgrocery.com. We'll also note that this business won't just be a nice option for South City shoppers, it'll be a nice boost for a business district in need of some daytime operators.
Speaking of folks doing good for their neighborhood, Bevin Fahey-Vornberg and David Early are celebrating the one-year anniversary of Snowfalke/City Stock with an art opening tomorrow. Here're the details, compliments of David:
SNOWFLAKE/CITYSTOCK is turning ONE year old! Friday June 8 we will celebrate our first birthday from 6-9pm.
Current Exhibit: David Linneweh - Paintings, Prints also featured: fine mid-century furniture from our collection.
David Linneweh paints and prints simplified suburban landscapes that are somewhat banal, embarrassingly ordinary, and utterly, hypnotically compelling. His work has been selected to appear in New American
Paintings, MFA Edition 2007.

Posted by Dana on Fri., Jun 8, 2007 at 8:47 AMLocal Harvest is so great that I've already been twice...and it's been open for about two hours. (Okay, i convinced the owners to let me in last night to shop -- two of them are my next-door neighbors, so I guess they figured it was easier to give in than have me nag them constantly.)
Great, yummy addition to the neighborhood and the city.
