It will be a loss for me, and I'm not even a memeber of that group. It's probably just a matter of unfortunate timing for such a venture. Who could have known three years ago--when Charlotte Moss would have been doing all the heavy planning for this--that the housing market would tank so quickly, that gas prices--and therefore all prices--would climb so high and that people would get nervous and begin to think hard about all sorts of non-essential purchases that they might have made without a pause in, say, 2OO6? In the 198Os, this would have been a huge success. Unfotrtunately, The Townhouse is beautiful, but it can't survive on the sales of fancy notepads & imported soaps, which are all a lot of people seem to feel comfortable buying right now. Too bad. Then again, even Syrie Maugham had to close up her shop during the Depression. Stuff happens. Nothing gold can stay.<BR/><BR/>One of these days, people will look back and--even though its lifespan was shockingly brief--remember The Townhouse as they do Mortimer's or the Dorotheum at the Met: for those who know it, a mere mention of its name will conjure up a whole lost world. Meanwhile, for anybody who hasn't already been, see it while you can.
