Bureau of Urban Living to bring modern home accessories to Midtown Clare Nelson and her husband, Francis Grunow will open Bureau of Urban Living, a “modern-day urban general store,” in the ground-floor of the Canfield Lofts in April. The store will be stocked with both basic necessities—like bedding, towels and dishes—as well as “more unique designer wares,” says Nelson. http://www.modeldmedia.com/dev elopmentnews/bureau83.aspx This is totally what Midtown and North Cass needs to help foster a developing urban residential neighborhood. I can't think of a better fit. Three cheers! | ||

Wow...something practical in the central city. I hope they set an example of success, especially as someone considering a move to midtown within 2 years. | ||

I talked with Francis and Clare about this a couple of times. I told Clare that when they finally open, I want to make the first purchase at their store. | ||

At first I didn't care for the name, then... I realized the double entendre of Bureau. Not bad. Best of luck to them; I'll make it a priority to stop in & help fill the register. | ||

Sign that hundred dollar bill, Frank, so when they frame it you can point to your name! Does sound like a good idea...general store...looks like another good reason to walk that couple of miles to Midtown. | ||
