Yikes – Oslo on Bedford Avenue is no more, gutted by a fire this morning. No one was hurt, and hopefully no one other than the coffee shop is out of a home (this is the base of a six-story apartment building). Very sad news on my old block.
Oslo Burned Out on Bedford!
Pudge Knuckles Now Open
Yet another coffee shop in the neighborhood – this is notable for being (I believe) the first permanent retail in the old Austin, Nichols & Co. Warehouse (184 Kent). 184 Kent has opened a couple of pop-up shops in its Kent Avenue retail spaces over the past few months, but this one is here to stay.
