It looks like we might be looking for someone new to move to the district to serve the hundreds of clients that have shopped here for over 100 years!

What should a new shop carry?  Here are a few suggestions:

Classic style, boutique influence, designer labels, custom made, and practically every other style.

A shop owner should also love to talk with customers to help them find what they’re looking for and how to get the styles with a minimum of fuss.

This facility, over 85 years in the same location, was saved 15 years ago by the Blue Mouse Associates (some call them Angels).

The Blue Mouse is everything that a small neighborhood movie theater should be: clean, well-run, great prices, and showing features that have just come from the ‘first run’ multi-screen chains.
