Via Twitter, I found out that Sheri LaVigne, a Seattle transplant from New York, plans to open a cheese shop here in our very own neighborhood.  You can read about her scoping out various locations.  Though, it sounds like - she just (minutes ago) finalized a spot on 12th Avenue.  Anyone care to guess the location?

Update via Twitter (@calfandkid): merci! space is next to NWFF, housed carburetors for 30 yrs and needs a LOT of love. It's not a done deal yet but fingers crossed!

superb cheese at last
It will heighten our cheese awareness through education, wit, and suggested beer and wine pairings!
Yay!

carburetors
Forget the cheese, where are we going to get our replacement needle valves now? This is a tragedy!

We're almost complete!
A cheese store here on the Hill would be great. The "cheese girls" at Quality Cheeses in the Market are great, but something even closer would be amazing.
Now, how about a bakery?

Oh man, I so feel you on that bakery. For such a thriving neighborhood I am constantly saddened by our lack of a quality artisan bread supplier. :(

Cheese is good
@Wes, Its not the sales office. That will be a bar, opening around June. Could be the Pizza Fusion space or the former carburetor shop?

We love cheese
The Pizza Fusion space seems way too big for a cheese shop. It is I think about 3,500 sq.ft. That is alot of cheese to sell to stay afloat.

12th ave
i say it is either the old carburator shop next to revival home or one at trace, although the prices there are so high, that i doubt a cheese shop could swing it. and the packard spaces are too large for this kind of store. maybe the old crave space?
