If you were out and about at all during the Watermelon Festival you probably saw more signs of retail evacuation and displacement. Peyton Hall is shuffling off to Stony Point, Occasionally is going away, and Glass & Powder has the “Store Closing” paint up.

Glass Boat has launched its skiff just to the other end of a building and Heidi Story is skipping a few blocks. So, as usual, the Carytown beat goes on.
