Flowers grown four blocks away, arranged while you wait.

Yarn, fabric, and a big table anyone can sit down at.

Two flights up, decades back — clothing, records, oddities.

New, used, and the best staff shelf-notes for miles.

Small grocery that stocks by asking farms first, warehouses second.

Hand-set type, wedding suites, and cards you can feel.

The kind of hardware store that asks what you're actually building.

Rewiring old lamps and finding shades that actually fit.
