A Long Hot Summer...and a Super Cool Yule!

Wow! So much can happen over the course of a few months.

Roadside Attraction experienced a long, hot, QUIET summer at Antique Alley...TOO quiet for our liking! Sad to say, after two years spent trying to work with the other shops to bring the Alley back to life as a fun shopping destination, we realized there were too many things beyond our control (Hello, derelict south side! Yes, I said that!). Even though we have been building a following of the coolest customers in Pinellas County and beyond, that location became more of a liability than an underdog rallying to get back into the spotlight...so we decided to pack up and move to greener pastures.

But where? Finding THE PERFECT SPOT was going to take some time...or so we thought. One day in late October, a potential new location dropped out of the blue as a suggestion from an Alley neighbor who also happened to be looking for a more happening locale. Jennifer Kapper, of Forty Three Oh 3 and Oh Whatever fame in South Tampa and soon-to-open Patina Maison in Largo, mentioned a double-wide opportunity in Largo! (insert trailer joke here)

We see it as more of a "Siamese Twin" kind of space, naturally! Two lovely units are...ahem...conjoined at the cash wrap, allowing us to help each other out with staffing, camaraderie and snack sharing, ha ha...

Here's a "BEFORE" picture of
Roadside
Attraction's
NEW location at
13836 Walsingham Rd, LARGO.

Also, with her "vintage reimagined" style--voluptuous painted furniture, unique accessories...and the chandeliers!--and our retro-tropical flair, shopping at our two new stores will help you fill every room of your home, from boudoir and dining room to tiki bar and rumpus room, with a unique look seen nowhere else.

Moving the shop into a new location was not exactly how we imagined spending the end of 2014, but we couldn't be happier and more excited to take the party to such a fantastic new location! Yes--We are missing out on all the holiday retail fun, but in The Big Picture, Santa knew EXACTLY what to bring us this year! We must have been REALLY good!

So, we hope you all have the best of holidays and please come visit next month (probably by mid-January) when Roadside Attraction opens at 13836 Walsingham Rd, Largo FL, just east of the intersection with Indian Rocks Rd, in the Hammock Hardware plaza, directly across from the WalMart Neighborhood Market. 

And don't forget--you can always get the latest news at www.Facebook.com/ShopRoadsideAttraction.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!
Best Regards,
Tiki Dave and the Tipsy Gypsy
