Ashley & Barnes apparently is moving to Amesbury or so says the sign outside the store.
I've honestly never been inside so I can't say I'll miss it. (Nice window though.) But this will create a huge hole on Pleasant Street. (Before anyone says anything about Karp, this isn't a Newburyport Development property, according to the online database.)
Interesting, at the chain store ban hearing last fall, the owner, whose name I can't recall, said something about planning to open a chain of stores. I'm not sure how or if this closing affects those plans.
I know he already had a place on Elm Street. I didn't think it was retail, but perhaps it is. Or maybe he's moving into the Amesbury's increasingly chic downtown.
Now if I can only get the Barking Dog to move to our chic downtown.
Anyway, he's got a big sale going on.

If you guys abolish the state income tax, I'll move back.
No, actually, I won't, but I'd support a similar proposal here in California.
As Massachusetts goes, so goes . . . .
I hate to let on how unobservant I am, but which store is Ashley & Barnes? What do they sell? Obviously, not something I need. :-)
It's the high end furniture store near the art gallery.

I had the same reaction as Dick, initially. Had to think what store you were referring to.
