I noticed in The Free Times<\/a> this week that Simply Savory<\/i> on Devine Street had closed.<\/p>\n

At this point, their web site<\/a> is still up, and it's a bit melancholy to see that their contact page lists them as being \"next to Ben & Jerry\u2019s<\/a> and Birds on a Wire<\/a>\", both of which have been gone for a while themselves.<\/p>\n

Also according to that page, they opened on 10 September 2007, so they had an almost three year run, which is not bad for that area and this economy.<\/p>\n

I only went in to Savory<\/i> once. I was actually looking for Ben & Jerry's<\/i> which was already gone at that point, but decided that as long as I was there anyway, I might as well check it out. I believe this was before they added their cafe area, and as I'm not a wine person, my impression of the store was that they sold mainly jars of condiments and spreads along with esoteric kitchen items. Given that I was ignoring the wine, I'm not sure how accurate that impression is, but I found it a bit like The Island Gourmet<\/i> at the Hammock Shops, or Plum Pudding<\/i> on Laurens Street in Aiken. I believe they had a couple of jars of something open for dipping and sampling, and that it was pretty good but not something I ended up buying.<\/p>\n
