New in Store -- A new CHS post idea

As an independent retailer I notice a lack of ongoing coverage of retail activity.  Sure things get coverage when they open, when misfortune strikes or when they close.  Reading this blog over the last month I have definitely seen a lot of love shown towards local retailers like Bliss and Bailey-Coy.  So why wait for these types of events to share our love for what makes our local shopping experiences unique to our neighborhood? 

There are dozens of retail gems that are just waiting to be discovered in the diverse community that is Capitol Hill - and First Hill.   I am proposing a companion column to the Food & Drink Notes called New in Store.  Retail establishments could submit info that I would compile and post on a regular basis.  Maybe you are teaching a knitting class, have a new Tarot reader in  the store, or got some cool new products in that you know people would love if they only knew about them. 

If this has been done or tried in the past - I apologize.  I have been reading this blog faithfully for the last couple of months and haven't seen anything like this.  If you are interested leave a comment.
