I just stepped in a big pile of sassy!

Calhoun Square sucks < -- (not worth linking to - the website is outdated and very few of the shops listed on there are still open).
There, I said it.
There's nothing there!
Ever since Beeswax left, the place just hasn't been the same.
I did manage to score a bracelet at ZRS Fossils (http://www.zrsfossils.com), for what it's worth. Looks like most shops are closing there within the month.

The Lotus - closed (http://www.startribune.com/entertainment/dining/16594551.html). (NOOOO!)
Gelato place - closed.
Cigar shop - closed.
Luggage place - closed.
Upstairs? - Not much!

There is a cool magnet shop (http://www.houseofgauss.com/), Magnetic Originals, on the second level. I talked to the owner, Jeff, for quite a while. Great guy. He has some nice art work up there. I'm really interested in one of his smaller paintings. Unfortunately, it's not for sale.

Thank goodness (http://magersandquinn.com/) Magers & Quinn across the street is still open. I still can't manage to leave that place without buying a book. :)
