Default New Tanning/Coffee shop on Wolf St

Does anyone know anything about a tanning/coffee shop opening on Wolf St/Chadwick? This is in the old Ceasaer's Dry Cleaning place. Walked by today and there was a sign for "express tanning/coffee shop coming soon." I think that will be great addition.

I live on the next block so when I came around to Chadwick to get my car this morning and saw "coming soon-- coffee shop" I was so exicted. Then when I saw "tanning salon" my excitement dropped a couple of levels. What sort of combination is that? I prefer to keep my coffee and my tanning separate, thank you. Oh yeah, and I don't go tanning. I wish it was just a regular coffee shop. Oh well, it didn't open yet so we shall see.

I agree. Coffee shop good, tanning salon bad! Strangest combination I can think of. Can't imagine that it will be much of a place to go and relax like Starbucks. At least it is not another nail salon!!

Default At least it's better than another empty storefront.

Even though it's a strange combo, it's much better than another empty storefront, or a nail shop, or another deli/drug shop. It looks like they've been doing a lot of work, so maybe it will be nice. Either way, we should definately give it a try once it opens.

Oh I'm definitely excited to give it a try. I just hope there are not requirements, like you have to drink your coffee in a tanning booth.

Coffee & tanning...wtf? That is really strange. But, like other people said, it's better than another nail salon...one just opened down the block from my house. It seems like there's one nail place for every customer. How do those places expect to stay in business?

Oh well, another tanning salon. I'll miss the folks at Cesar's. Laura is a great lady and she ran a good shop for dry cleaning and alterations.
