Well, this little Harden Street storefront has had more activity over the years than I was really aware of.<\/p>\n

I vaguely recall Leon's Bookstore<\/i> and think I went in there once or twice, though I can't recall actually buying anything. It seems that Leon<\/i> was a last name, not a first name and technically has an acute accent over the 'o'. This record from the Secretary of State's office<\/a> indicates that the store set up shop (or filed papers at any rate) in December of 1989, and dissolved through forfeiture in November of 1994.<\/p>\n

I know nothing about Moxie Gift Gallery<\/i> other than it comes up in google searches for \"631-C Harden\"<\/p>\n

The Oops Company<\/i> is a catalog clothing store which apparently moved to 601 Harden Street, and is still there. I figured from the name that it was a factory-seconds store, but that appears not to be the case.<\/p>\n

Finally, the current vacancy is due to the closing of Five Points Nails and Spa<\/i>. According to The Columbia Star<\/a> they filed for a zoning variance on 8 September 2009, giving them a run of a bit over two years in this spot.<\/p>\n
