That is wonderful news to learn that MONA has found a temporary home at 4th & Main. Kudos to Mr. Gilmour. I look forward to seeing their bright lights installed. I still think Union Station's abandoned ticketing wing would make for an expansive and appropriate permanent home for MONA.

does anybody know what happened to push emporium? (it used to have the space that m.j higgins will be taking over).
i had deep customer loyalty to their dry cleaning services. one day i went to pick up some dry cleaning only to find a big empty space that was once filled with clothing.
fortunately there was a number where i could reach somebody to get my cloths back.
but i am very dissapointed to know that they are not there anymore. it was a very convenient location to get my stuff dry cleaned.

while the location was good for residents of the old bank district, i don't think it was a very visible location for anyone else.
celia recommends the dry cleaner in the alexandria.

S&H Cleaners in the Alexandria is well priced for pants. Ralphs has the deal to beat on shirts.

Urban Memo, How did you get your clothes back from Push Emporium? Where did you pick up your clothes.
I had merchandise that were selling in their store I want back. Can you give me some leads?
I have the owners cell number: Left messages after message never would return my call. T Kiah if you want her number I can give it to you, but it may not do any good. So urban memo can you help another designer get some answers that you may have. You must of met a person and place that had your stuff. Please share info. Appreciate it.
Thanks
