Still trying...

We are still plugging away at a second location.  While this is taking much longer than I would like at the moment, everything is seemingly good.  The landlord seems to be clear that he wants to rent it to us and that we are the only people he is considering renting to.  At least that is the implication.  We still have a few issues with the lease we need to work out but the landlord is a busy person and renting this particular space is not as pressing an issue as some of his other current business.  We continue to be optimistic but are keeping are emotions patiently in check.  We would love to open another place in this town.  We feel our energy and our sense of both economic and environmental sustainability are a great thing for Northampton, our food isn't too bad either.  Hopefully we can make it happen...
