after having extended our stay not once, but twice, we thought we'd end up going back to boston empty-handed. this wouldn't have been devastating, but certainly would have thrown off our plans for the upcoming summer.
as a last ditch effort, dabney and i even succumbed to driving the streets of certain STL neighborhoods hoping to find that perfect piece of abandoned property. we overlooked the inevitable hassle of locating the owner and crossing our fingers that s/he would sell. this tactic was more frustrating than anything (not to mention, car sick inducing). there were just so many to pick from.
just when we were about to give up. we stumbled upon an old building with a "for sale by owner" sign on it. not only did it appear to be the right size, lo and behold, the building is even in the exact neighborhood in which we had hoped to settle.
it was love at first sight.
yes, folks, we bought an old storefront. what was once "schwarz hardware store" will be our future home and studio.*
*to answer the obvious: no future mogo store is in the works for the space.
