New South Shore Center Storefronts
New design guidelines will enable common area furnishings and unique storefronts, such as this one at Loard’s Ice Cream.
S
outh Shore Center is excited to announce that the Alameda Planning Board has approved new design guidlines for the shopping center. The new guidelines will enable South Shore Center architects to create a more eclectic and dynamic “main street” feel through the heart of South Shore Center. Retailers and restaurant owners will have more of an opportunity to build out storefronts that express their unique identities, using the approved design guidelines as a springboard. In addition to adding more dramatic and theatrical storefronts, the guidelines will also allow the landlord to add playscapes, seating, fire pits, bike racks and other great amenities to common areas. Visitors may also enjoy kiosks, food carts and other perks! For more information, visit alamedasouthshorecenter.com.

Modern Mouse Is On The Move! S
outh Shore Center’s favorite DIY and craft emporium, Modern Mouse, has moved! Their new spot, directly across the way from their old space (to the right of Great Clips), is newer, brighter and feels more spacious than their previous location. Owner Eleen Hsu says, “The move was an opportunity to make ourselves over a bit. We’re really happy with the way things turned out, and we hope our customers like it as much as we do.” You’ll continue to find great craft events at Modern Mouse, such as Sunday Crafternoons for a Cause. During February’s Crafternoon event, participants learned how to make no-sew fleece blankets, which were then donated to Project Linus to benefit children in need. Follow Modern Mouse on Facebook at facebook. com/ModernMouse for information on upcoming Crafternoons and other great events!

Pickin’ & Strummmin’ Man-about-town George Krauth dishes on the fashions, flavors, designs and décor he discovers as he travels the globe tracking trends in his capacity as VP of Creative and Marketing for Jamestown. This quarter, George talks about how Jamestown supports the arts.
I
have an unconventional playlist for running—a lot of folk. Nothing lights a fire under my feet more than Willie Nelson’s cover of “City of New Orleans.” Recently, I was on my usual jaunt down the Hudson River Park Greenway listening to one of my favorite string bands, Old Crow Medicine Show, a group introduced to me by Billy Reid’s Sarah Trapp in Nashville a few years ago. Billy Reid has a rich history in promoting musicians, and it got me thinking about the partnerships that Jamestown shares with its local music communities. It’s a thrill to host talented musicians at Jamestown’s properties, and nothing enlivens a space or brings a community together like a live band. Currently, Warehouse Row is hosting the Chattanooga Symphony and Opera (CSO) every third Thursday. These unstructured performances will allow the CSO to broaden its reach within the community and provide an exceptional shopping experience at Warehouse Row. In New York, where rehearsal space is at a premium, our events coordinator Michael Ginsberg often loans the use of Chelsea Market’s 400-foot concourse to local musicians for public rehearsals. Music is also an essential component for fundraising. Ponce City Market in Atlanta kicked off its groundbreaking in October 2011 with a huge block-party– style concert, headlined by The Indigo Girls. Party at Ponce helped Jamestown raise more than $80,000 for local charities. Nothing gets people, places, or “people places” going like live music. I hope to see you at a concert on a Jamestown property soon.
