The space at 300 S. Water St., most recently a photography studio, is undergoing a build-out. Guess what current Northfield business is moving in there?
Likewise, the space at 209 S. Water St., formerly Erbert & Gerberts, is undergoing a build-out. Guess what two businesses are moving in there? Hint: they are not retail and they are not currently Northfield businesses.
Bonus question: Will Northfield Patch or the Northfield News be the first to run stories on these developments?
Both Patch and the News have done little stories on the 209 Water St. site, but they don’t count, IMHO, because they contain about as much info as one of my posts. Pitiful!

Griff,
It would seem to me that the reason that the story is pitiful is that this is not yet a story.
Businesses often do not wish to reveal their new digs until they are ready to open. This can happen for many reasons; for example, they may be in a lease that they haven’t given notice to end yet, etc.
It’s very exciting to have some new businesses in the community and it’s great to bring attention to some “activity”. I’d just suggest that we respect the businesses need to tell their story when they are ready. Then, let’s welcome them with open arms!

No worries, Megan. My snarky comment (“Pitiful!”) was aimed at Patch and the News for publishing stories that were as worthless as my blog post.
