Tootsies Childern's Shoes, 4517 Forest Drive: Spring 2021 no comments

Posted at 10:33 pm in closing

It looks like Tootsies on Forest Drive will be closing soon, as they are currently running a 30% off retirement sale. It might be a good time to pick up some summer shoes before the beach..

Sole Boutique, 4517 Forest Drive: 2018 no comments

Posted at 10:13 pm in closing

I was not really aware of this little place on Forest Drive, behind The Happy Cafe and in-between Tombo Grille and The Village Idiot. What I can tell from its google reviews is that it sold clothes and shoes. I believe it had the same suite as the former Tag It Art

UPDATE 12 May 2021 -- This is to become Flour Power a kids' party cooking studio:

Tag It Art, 4517 Forest Drive: 9 January 2015 1 comment

Posted at 1:02 am in closing

Kids' art studio, Tag It Art closed on 9 January 2015. You can see the classy farewell message here.

Forest Village is the little two-strip plaza that I still think of as the home of The Happy Bookseller though The Happy Cafe now occupies that spot.

(Hat tip to my sister)
