I would see this guy a lot when I would walk our Poodle Man. He really is this cute and friendly and he has cleaned up and organized the place so much it is fun to peek inside.

One thing I miss about my old neighborhood, is being a quick walk down Ave A to this shop, The Upper Rust, filled with nooks and crannies covered in beautiful things. Ever wish you could peek into hill and valley and barn sized country stores and creep into farmhouse attics? They have done it for you, and you get to take home the prizes without the dust.
