Thank you for the throwback. I spent two summers working on the 3rd and 4th floors of Pearls. I met so many interesting creative souls from all over the world. I also learned how to stretch a dollar. A skateboard ride around the neighborhood taught me how to eat on the cheap, Egg Creams, Lime Rickeys, and a steady diet of Chinese Pork buns. So, many of these beautiful and quirky spaces have disappeared from our city's retail landscape - along with them, a big part of NYC.

the best of times and the most strange and beautiful people that I came across while working at Genesis Art Supply!

So true, Pablo. Thank you for this reminder of how important art supply stores were and are to makers. Let's not forget New York Central where I learned more about paper than in art school.
