ABC Liquors, no more

The signs on the ABC liquors at 8th and Davis are gone. I guess the rumor in my post A Walgreens for Springfield is one step closer to being a reality. Now if I can only track down Sleiman for that interview…

Yesterday’s article Homeless camp at 3rd and Main in Springfield was very popular, receiving 21 comments. Nice work! If you left a comment yesterday, take another moment to call the Hionides and complain about this property:

Mary Farwell, Property Manager: 241-1151.
Chris Hionides, Owner: 241-1501

A huge thanks to Emily from Anomoly for emailing me with more info on the mystery store in Springfield, To and Fro.

The girl’s name is Erin Battle and she actually used to sell her own line of tees at my store. … It’s cute, but they are just starting out so there isn’t too much inventory. But, it takes time to build. She still has another job so her hours are limited. it’s called ‘To and Fro’ which is also the name of the tees that she does.

I am quoted in this weeks Folio, pg. 11. Square Dance, Club Paris Opens. Mayor Peyton Hits the Floor.

Joey Marchy of the blog UrbanJacksonville.info laments that Peyton’s style lacked a certain energy. He didn’t even throw his hands up.
