Local Cable 'On Demand' showed up to film a quick spot for the channel for the Downtown Crossing shopping experience. Lucky for us they shot it in our gallery!

Katy of MuchachaK showed up for her shift during all the hubbub. She missed the pomp and circumstance, but I did get a shot of her and Menino's back! Heehee!
All in all a wonderful Saturday!

Just amazing how you folks created a BEAUTIFUL store out of an empty shell. The City should be proud of you and all you've done. I sure am.
Ohhh you are FAMOUS! What are the hours and such of this and when are you there again???
Thanks Linda, it really is amazing!
Jenn, we are open Thursdays through Sundays 11am-7pm until December 28th. I will be there next Thursday from 3-7 and Saturday from 11-3...with some unexpected pop-ins during the last week. If you want to go, let me know, maybe we can go in together if you can't make it during one of my shifts. :)
That must have been so much fun! So glad you posted these pics Nancy...thanks!
so, did Menino buy anything? :)
That first picture is too funny. Mr. Menino looks a twee bit confused.
Also I heard he didn't buy anything, which I thought was extremely bad form. Come on, man! Buy a card or something.
Unless he forgot that the point of a store in the area is not only to keep vandals away but also to drive commerce. At bare minimum I would think he'd want to make a gesture of support. I guess that's what he figured his presence was?
