maybe she should transport her things to disneyland and so-cal entertainment amusement parks. this seems to be ambitious. mountain view is a curious choice for this location. wish this person well

"It's an up-and-coming hipster central," Gush said. "Mountain View is really changing, Villa Street is really popular."

Haven't read anything more nauseating on mv-voice in some time.

Goodness - these comments are just awful!! who are these people?? 90 year old republicans?? Mountain View has always been eclectic and we love it that way.....get with it.

@Pam -- these comment boards have always been filled with nasty comments like the ones you commented on. Guess some people just have to be who they are.

And as to your point: Mountain View has always had stores that were a bit *different*. Our gain, Palo Alto's loss.

I love this store!! The best to you, Tiffany. I wish you much success!

I'm looking forward to shopping in this unique store, especially if it really has vintage "Empire" dresses. I love 'em. They're a hard style to find much of these days. Great fun to check out places that are one of a kind.

And glad someone who would call themselves "Puke" won't be interested in being any where in the area.

At present, South Castro Street is similar to its other end, which also grew up naturally with unique places to eat and such. Too bad its best places to sit out and enjoy the outdoors are being shifted to El Camino Real instead, so they can be replaced with stack up housing. Soon to be a boring street, with people always watching you from above. It is city approved, planned death to an area as enjoyable as Villa Street or Castro Street near the tracks.

It's a unique, charming store, filled with all sorts of treasures. We shopped at the Palo Alto location and are thrilled to see they are now in Mountain View. It's a great addition to our downtown!

A couple of these comments makes me wonder if some people got up on the wrong side of the bed. Good luck to you Tiffany.

I like the idea of shop like the above opening up in Downtown, so we are going a little hip. It sounds like a fun store, hope to see more in the future. I don't see anything wrong with retailers picking Mountain View for a place to open. More retail like the one above will draw more retail.

Or do we shop at Wal Mart?

I drove by there yesterday. Looked great. But I couldn't find any parking. Too bad the City of Mountain View has seen fit to reduce how much parking it provides, so small businesses are the ones getting hurt.

Linda, your comment is the equivalent of "nobody drives anymore because there's too much traffic".

Linda Empire is open late. Same as it was in Palo Alto.

I know most people who post here are locked up at home by 9pm, so not everyone would be aware.

As for me, I've been boycotting Mt View since Liberty House became JC Penney.

What does a small store owner have to do with Penny's? Why make her pay? Oh, I get it, you are just spoiling for an argument.

Linda did you miss the posts (including your own??) about shopping in Mt View.

And also you have missed that you can eat outside at Starbucks, Crepevine, New Mongolian, Bierhaus, Spica, Park Balluci, Amicis, Cafe Baklava, Los Charros, Blue Line, Scott's/whatever scotts will be presumably, Cascal, Le Boulanger, whatever that place is next to Le Boulanger, Posh Bagel, Saskoon, Ava's Downtown Market, Mediterranean Grill, Queen House/Tea place, Don Giovanni, St Stevens Green, Gyros House, Ephesus, La Fontaine, Shabuway (NOT Subway), Amarin, Blue Line, Doppio Zero, Xahn, Vaso Azzuro, Olympus ...and a few others on and off Castro I'm sure I've missed....

Sparty, your boycott hasn't appeared to have any noticeable effect on the rest of us, but at least you have not decided to boycott Mountain View's news and issues. That shows you have an interest so glad you're hear to add to the fabric of the Mountain View quilt, so to speak

Thanks male apricot. Apparently sarcasm has no noticeable effect on you either.
