The Nook hook

Hold on children. It’s time to go explore the Collectors Nook. Next door to the also eccentrically houred Pure Clothing on I Street, this nearly invisible dusty shelved second hand is, at the very least, worth the trip around the corner from your French press at Satellite Coffee.  Perceptively named,

Kate Monthy is a dancer. She looks like a dancer, she walks like a dancer, and she speaks as if conversation were a carefully choreographed partnership in articulation. “MLKBallet is an organization that produces and teaches dance,” she says curtly of her organization, and then with a little bow of
