1. They're considering putting a Starbucks on High Street right next to the old, independently owned coffee and tea house. Controversial for the obvious reason, but also because this would be the second Starbucks on the SAME BLOCK. I'm a big fan of Starbucks, but is that really necessary?
2. The butcher closed down after 30 years in business and now no one knows where to get their meat. The only remaining option is Tesco, affectionately called "Stressco" by the locals, but if you don't get there right after a new delivery there are zero options. Unless of course you're shopping for sausage, of which there is always plenty.
3. One of the 100 pastry shops closed down on the High Street, and in it's place will be a fancy new SpaceNK. Not sure if everyone is excited about this, but I sure am.
4. There have been a couple other store closings recently - the "Nuts about Life" shop, which sold, as you might imagine, nuts. And the Pear Drop lingerie store. Not sure what's going into either of these places, but we're anxiously awaiting the new tenants and are all hoping against hope that it's not another cell phone store. We'll keep everyone posted...
