Those of you who regularly stop for a bagel at the Hot Bagel Shop on Shepherd might have noticed that some of the other tenants in that little strip center where it resides have been moving out.

I hadn’t realized it was going to encompass the Shoe Hospital until I saw that. The location, in case you can’t tell, is just south of Fairview, on the west side of the street, next to the Arby’s.

My understanding, from talking to the proprietors, is that they’ll be moving in September or so. I just hope no one crashes any cars into the new building.
