Park Circle Coffee and Cream closing tomorrow

Posted by Stephanie Barna on Thu, Jan 29, 2009 at 11:17 AM

This is really starting to suck. First, Rutledge Coffee and Cream announced that it's closing, and now an email comes to us from Richard Campbell up in Park Circle. He's shutting the doors of his quaint coffee shop and community hangout in the heart of N. Charleston's revitalizing main street. From his email:

Subject: End of an Era

It is with great disappointment that I report Friday, January 30th, will be our last day of business at Park Circle Coffee N’ More. I am sure I speak for not only myself but our entire staff in saying how honored we are to have enjoyed the loyal support of our customers over the past four years. Many real friendships have been formed and community allegiances organized in support of the Park Circle Community. Additionally, it was with great pride that we were able to be a part of such a unique neighborhood that will certainly continue to thrive.

While at this time the future seems uncertain, please know that my dedication to our community remains unchanged.

Bummer. I suddenly feel the need to head over to Kudu for some coffee and lunch or something. Care to join me?

In related news, Lowcountry Local First is holding an emergency meeting of local business owners tonight — and is at capacity. They've moved to a bigger location and have already maxed out the new capacity. Not sure what they'll be able to do to staunch the bleeding, but at least they can communally grieve.

i don't want to sound too much like a whiner but lowcountry local doesn't seem to do much but TALK how about doing something? where is this central farmer's market they talk about? that would certainly be right in line with one of their main objectives to connect local farmers and local restaurants...i'm glad they exist but let's get something done please!

Im absolutly done with this program. Nothing has come of it. And as a local Chef, I dont want a online market. I want to be able to touch, see, and feel what im buying. if I am unable to do that what is the sence. A central farmers market would do this whole town wonders. especially with the economy the way it is. Get rid of that flea market, on market st. and put a farmers market there. But i am starting to see a trend here in the south. if it would make sence to do something, don't do it.

The new managers of the City Market are actually planning to put a farmers market down there, or at least model a revamped market after ones in San Fran, New Orleans, and Boston. Problem is, it's two years away or more. In the meantime — more of the same.
