New Albany is a state of mind … but whose? Since 2004, we’ve been observing the contemporary scene in this slowly awakening old river town. If it’s true that a pre-digital stopped clock is right twice a day, when will New Albany learn to tell time?

The New Albany location of Preston Arts Center is closing soon.
We had several tips, but I decided to wait and see. There's nothing at the web site yet, but probably will be.
Holy Mackerel - I bought my first sketch pad ever there, in the 60's. Could a group of artists come together in a coop sort of deal and keep an artists supply store there?
When we were designing the interior of Sweet Stuff Bakery, we needed an adjustable 12" triangle. It was so wonderful to be able to walk over to Preston and purchase what we needed for $ 9.00 or so. They had exactly what we needed in stock!
A sad day when a venerable store leaves our town... WalMart doesn't care and doesn't have what you really need.

And WalMart isn't downtown, are they?
