Reply to comment by Chimpskibot in Is Richmond Street the next hipster strip? by thecw

Yup. This exactly.

I'll add to your list and throw out Launderette Records, Corpse Flower Tattoo... and then nearby Nemi and La Roma... as places that fit into this niche and deserve a shoutout.

edit: Also shoutout to A Frame Constructs who, I think, have helped to design and develop both many of these business (Lunar, Launderette) as well as some of the new residential building(s?) on Richmond that look super nice. Their office is on Richmond.

a frame is absolutely the driving force behind richmond street right now. they are snapping up whatever property they can - revitalizing // redeveloping it and making sure that cool tenants are getting put it. they're doing a great job.

Cool, thanks for confirming. They did an incredible job on Lunar and that new high rise across the street on Richmond looks great as well. I know a bunch of businesses have spoken highly of them, and I love that they have an office right there on Richmond — becoming even more personally invested in the immediate area.

yeah those dudes are great. i've gone to a couple local zoning meetings where they have given their proposals for different projects - they always listen to the feedback, even from the old-heads who hate the new projects.

i'm waiting for them to buy the strip club, bare elegance (at richmond and allegheny), and flip it into a dolphin-type club.
