Construction on Emporia’s Granada Lofts is moving along. Here’s the scene on Jan. 6.
And just down the block …. News came recently that Winter Furniture, in business since 1933, is closing its doors. Four floors of furniture. When I moved to town in the early ’80s, this place was a block from my apartment. My first dinette table came from Winter Furniture, my first recliner, my first (plaid) couch. They had a deal back then that you could pay 1/4 down and then pay equal monthly installments with no interest.
Didn’t they have a closing the doors sale a few years ago? Are they really going to do it this time? That’ll be kind of sad. The couch/futon thing we are using now came from them. I love that couch.
I wonder if they have tv stands. I should go in and check.
