Tucked away in the recently bustling Arlington Towers retail spaces, is the Far East Corner, a store specialing in imports from the Far East. I was curious to know how they were doing, given the fact La Bassola is leaving WeFi. Her store is doing good! Denise’s response, “It is so nice to hear from you. I am still here. In fact, my 1 year anniversary is Feb 18, which coincidently is Chinese New Year. I should have an event, but I haven’t quite figured it out yet. I have just taken over the Marketing Commitee chairmanship for the River Walk Merchants Association. We are going to try to be much more visible to the public so that we can survive down here. We also are going to try to be more active in a volunteering capicity as a group. We are going to be involved in the Marathon De Mayo, both as a sponsor and as volunteers and we are going to be active in helping out Big Brothers, Big Sisters. We also hope to develop more family friendly activities in the West Street Plaza. We, as River Walk/ Art District merchants want to help develop a great atmosphere here.”
