A reader recently emailed us to say that some person or persons had placed hearts along the planting strip (between the street and the sidewalk) all along Bagley between 41st and 43rd. I ran up there myself, and sure enough … hearts! I’m not sure if they first appeared on Valentine’s Day, but it’s close enough for me to label this a Valentine’s Day Whodunnit.

Yesterday morning I set off in search of last-minute Valentines. What I encountered instead was a bit of heartbreak (and no elementary school valentines).

My first stop was Bartell’s where I thought I might find a box of Valentine’s for my 4 & 6 year olds. Seeing the shelves of Bartell Drugs adorned with sale signs was a stark reminder of the store’s closure that our neighborhood has been lamenting for a couple weeks now, but that was pale compared to what I learned when chatting with the owners of PETI and Cedarhouse Flowers, a women’s boutique and flower shop …
