Remember Prints Charming, that framing shop that was on Seventh Avenue near
Lincoln Place. Olive Vine went in there about a year now. So what happened to Prints
Charming. He reappeared in an e-mail. Note to the PRINCE: HANG IN THERE.
I assume that is your name since that is what came up. This is the
first time I have read your blog, and I found it most interesting, well
written and fun. A friend of mine who reads you regularly told me your address, and she also mentioned that you had mentioned me in your blog.I am Jo Irwin, the owner of Prints Charming, the framing and print shop which used to operate out of a storefront on Seventh Avenue. I wanted to let you know that I did not go out of business as I guess you assumed, but instead moved around the corner to 150 Sterling Place into the ground floor of my brownstone there. I operate during the week and also by appointment.
The phone number has remained the same. I would love it if you stopped by at some time if you are around. I don't know where you live, so I don't know if it is convenient for you. My hours are similar to the old ones - T-Sat 12-7pm, Sun 11-5 and Mon 12 - 7pm. I'm afraid the escalation of rents made it totally unfeasible for me to continue business on Seventh Ave., and being on a side street is making it pretty difficult for me to continue business here, so it seems one can't win! Still, I'm hanging in so far.
