J. M. Stovall Posted April 3, 2009 Share Posted April 3, 2009 Does anyone know the history of this little Deco-ish building on Studewood? I searched the forums and didn't see anything. It's being transformed into something and some of the panache has been removed . I always meant to take some photos of it and now it's too late, so if anyone has some please post!

tmariar Posted April 3, 2009 Share Posted April 3, 2009 I took this photo of Herman's Shoe Repair a few months ago. I don't know if that was before the changes you're referencing, though. Information-wise, you might check the Chronicle archives. The principal's name is in the Press blurb on the link page.If you find out more, I'd be interested in hearing it!

Since then they've covered the exterior (wood panels) and built a larger sloped roof on top....can't figure out what the final product might be for a shop that small.

Tiko Posted June 4, 2009 Share Posted June 4, 2009 supposed to be good...What is a New Orleans style snowball? It's got alchohol in it?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EMME Posted June 4, 2009 Share Posted June 4, 2009 perhaps someone here can find the thread for you, but this was discussed in another post. apparently, it's going to be a residenceAwfully small residence, even by Heights standards, but I like living small. Can't wait to see it finished and inhabited. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tanith27 Posted June 4, 2009 Share Posted June 4, 2009 What is a New Orleans style snowball? It's got alchohol in it?!When I lived in NOLA we had them quite a bit. No alcohol, but it was the same shaved ice format that you see in North Shore Oahu (for those that have been). I prefer the Oahu ones as they add ice cream and a whole bunch of other cool items to the snocone. Its like eating a fluffy snow compared to most of the snocones I grew up with which were very granular crushed ice pieces. i.e. they were crunchy. A good snowball is not crunchy.

Scott08 Posted June 5, 2009 Share Posted June 5, 2009 Lots of activity last night around the old shoe repair building. Someone's moving in but it was hard to tell if it was residential or business type stuff that was going in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
