Looks like we have an opening date. Saw a sign on the 'oil derrick' today at Sawyer Heights and it says "Target opening July 23rd"....

Crickets is a great place. Great gelato. Great coffee. The hours aren't so great though. Would love to stop there for a coffee after work but I think they close at 6. Most (all?) of the shops on 19th have very inconvenient hours for the working person.

That sounds great. Exactly the kind of place the Heights needs. Can't wait 'til they open. Does the local Heights magazine you mentioned have an Internet link?

Yes it does, it is www.heightspages.com

Hope this helps.

There are 2 things I think we could use in this part of the Heights that don't require liquor permits. A good bakery (no offense to DaCappo's, but their hours stink for the busy, working person) with bagels and muffins; a little ice cream shop. I'd love to see some shop that sells homemade icecream, but even an Amy's would be better than having to drive to W Gray for a cone.

There is a great homemade ice cream shop on 19th. It's called "Cricket's Creamery". Great place. We go there all the time to satisfy our ice cream cravings.
