One more great shop closed this week in the Marshall's plaza. The Childrens Orchard provided a great place for gently used and new children's clothes, and furniture. A loss for our town. A few months ago the Funky Monkey, the artsy and second hand store also closed on Camino Capistrano across from Big Lots, near Wells Fargo Bank. I also stopped in to check for Christmas gifts at Capistrano Consignment, the store looks lovely, docorated for Christmas. But, the owner expressed concern that store exterior's, side walks and landscaping is not being maintained in town. Business is slow for the holiday season. In speaking to the owner about our town, she agreed we do not need more retail in our town. A nice boutique hotel would have increased foot traffic. If a survey was done relating to the need for more retail in our town, she was not contacted.
