I'm spending the morning looking a ton of different locations to resettle and open my eventual shop.
We're pretty certain it's going to be in the SW Virginia area as it seems to be most suitable for what we are looking for.
What ARE we looking for?
Well, the biggest thing is community.
See, I'm not profit-driven.
I know. That sounds crazy. Who ever says they want to open a business and not worry about profit?
Me?
I find that I shy away from popular places. I want to live and work in a place where it's quiet and friendly and people know you. I want to be off the beaten path. I want to be somewhere that feels like I belong there.
I used to not be that way. Hard to believe but I used to hang out in New York City on a very regular basis, mostly Greenwich Village.
Haven't been there in years and not really all that interested in it anymore.
I don't care for trendy and I really don't care for overspending on stuff.
The best cup of coffee I've ever had did not cost $8.
I want people to come to my shop not just to shop.
My shop will have comfortable places where you can just sit and visit or read or whatever.
Except for computers and cell phones. I'd like it if you could leave those things at home.
My shop will probably not have free wi-fi. haha
