Building business community

While really wandering around town (NYC) yesterday-I found this very interesting place,not just a shop, a place. The very funny idea of a yarn shop/boutique/community center-Wool and the Gang is a great addition to NYC's trend toward less retail more idea..think Andy Spade's place.
Knitting also seems to be the medium of choice for community activist-I just heard about artist friend Frida Gylfadottir's project knitting a giant scarf to celebrate the joining of her small town and the neighboring town. More on that later this year.....
