In all these months of construction along Prune Alley Road, I think the hardest business hit may be Sequel. I’m not speaking on behalf of them, in fact I hope owner Keri Lago is okay with my saying so.
I think it all the time. It hasn’t been easy to get there, and I’m sure that over these summer months no tourist has just “happened upon” Sequel. You’ve got to know it exists, decide you’re willing to figure out how to navigate the changing pedestrian patterns set by the road crew, and make the effort.
No offense to the road crew, by the way. They’ve been really nice, and their work looks very good. And I’m sure that when all of the road planning was done, no one quite knew what this summer would look like after two years of ongoing COVID quietness.
But suddenly this summer brought with it the hope of revival and normalcy. When I think of what these months must have been like for Sequel, when other businesses just one street over have been as full as they’ve ever been, I can’t imagine how Sequel is making it.
I’m a big Sequel fan. Always have been. I love buying used clothing. Environmentally and monetarily, it just makes sense. And you never know what you’re gonna find – it’s fun. (Here’s a previous post I did that highlights them.) I have found my way around cones and heavy equipment to get there a few times this summer. But I may be in a minority.
Anyone reading this – if you have a great idea that will help this business, please step up.
Thanks so much.
This is how you get to Sequel…
Start a crowd-fund for Sequel? I’ve never done a ‘Go Fund Me,’ but I bet a fan of Sequel has!
Edee, I totally agree with this and have been asking so many people what options there are. But no one seems to have an answer.
Thanks for your kind words Edee. We’ll keep hanging in there and will be ok with good friends like you. Thanks for supporting us!
