New and Shiny in Bloomfield Center

Hey, that's great! I'll certainly stop in, maybe even tonight.

Is that the old pet store?

I can't make it until Saturday, but I will definitely go there. I think it's important to support any good local businesses that are taking a chance in some of the less travelled neighborhoods.

It's around the corner from the 99 cents store.

I'll stop by after getting my hair braided and my nails done.

it's about time. bloomfield needs to attract some new business. i wish them well!

I went to Steven's opening last Friday night and it's a delightful store!! The prices are unbelievable and the merchandise is nice quality. It is a wonderful store and a definite asset to Bloomfield. I agree 100% - we need to turn that area and Washington Street into a mini mall area ala Church Street and the area will be fantastic!! It will happen - I have hope in the new consultant group that the township has hired - I really liked their presentation at the meeting they had last year. And for those people who are asking when the next one is, I have heard that there will be one soon - they just wanted to wait until after the holidays to schedule one.

It's "etageres" and there's an accent on the first 'e,', not "etigiers."

I love doing this, by the way.

Hmmppfff. I think Bloomfield is perfectly upscaled the way it is. We don't need to be Church Street Redux or Church Street Reduced. I mean, we have a Barney's: what else does one need? But I do wish Steven well and we will stop in and look around for some casual furniture for the Carriage House.

I agree that another Church Street is not needed, but every time I wander down Washington Street I can't help imagining what it could be like--it has so much potential to be a very charming area. I hope that the opening of a store like this one will encourage other business owners to consider it.

Does anyone know if there is a plan for anything to move in or fix up the old 7 Hills space? And what happened with the pet store - the "massage parlor" door has an open sign but the pet store I thought was long closed.

So you can get a manicure, some 99c items AND a happy ending.

I will check it out when I go to my Qi Gong class at Starseed which is also in Lackawanna Place--although I could not find it last week.

I wish Mr. Mohn the best of luck. It's a lovely little store and a lovely alternative to going over to Church St.

I think the pet supply store moved to East Orange. Indeed, that section of town looks more like Doomfield. Looking forward to LaWanda's soul food restaurant. There also seems to be some construction on the corner of Washington where the trophy shop and that nail salon used to be.

Starseed has moved back to Montclair on Glenridge Ave on the east side south(?) of the bookstore

My brother-in-law, an English professor and proof-reader to the chancellor of Fort Wayne's Purdue University, used to correct spelling and grammar on all the Fort Wayne restaurant menus on which he found errors. When any student or employee saw brown ink crossing out an apostrophe or correcting spelling on the menu, he knew that Steven Hollander had been there.
