Hi Mr. Wallyhood –
I was wondering if you knew what is going on at Swanson’s Shoe Repair on 45th between Corliss and Sunnyside. I was walking home from work on Monday evening and noticed that the windows are covered with brown paper on the inside. They are normally closed on Monday, so it wasn’t unusual that they were closed. Any ideas or news? I sure hope they haven’t closed for good – they’ve been a neighborhood mainstay for many decades
Well, we can’t say for sure, but we gave them a ring to find out, and their voicemail says they’ll be closed “most of Thanksgiving week” but will reopen Saturday morning, 8 am.
we are closed this week for macnine maintenance. open on sat. 11-28
Gosh, I sure hope they’re staying with us! I rely on them for shoe and bag repair.
Gotta love the multi-generational business! Hope Danny & the Swansons had a terrific Thanksgiving!
