Saw this on Digg the other day; my Dad actually has this book. At any rate, its a worthy read if you like to travel… or read about places you’d like to travel to.

Flint MI is NOT on the list.

Do you loathe those 4-hour raids in World of Warcraft? With this desk, you’ll always remember that someone had it worse by having his body frozen in carbonite. You can view more pictures here, at Tom Spina Designs.

Now I have to see if we can get this added to our spending budget.

So, what makes a man stylish? 2nd Floor’s own Tim Latsbaugh shows us that it takes a blend of what you wear and how you carry yourself. While trends may come and go, style is something one possesses for a lifetime.

We love the childish excitement of Halloween and tricking our co-workers and treating our customers. Every year, 2nd Floor’s Art Director, Robin McCoy, whips up a fun scene that we use as our desktop. Feel free to download his latest for your own use. It’s our treat, and it’s not tricky to do. If you have any problems, give us a call.

A new salon opened up in the North Square Project in downtown Chambersburg. The pictures tell part of the story, but we just can’t do it justice in a blog post. Just come downtown and check things out when you can.

As fitting to all that they do, it was done in the style of class and warmth, and without pretension. It was a great night, and it was good to see all the people come by who were interested and supportive of the “investment” these folks are laying out to rejuvenate the downtown for all of us.

Open House InsideGreat space for a downtown bistro…1200 sq. feet, more room for outdoor seating, brick, hardwood, new HVAC, electric, in an up and coming funky end of town, near cool shops, coffee and more.

Our space is in the first building completed (we posted a picture earlier in the blog), and here is a fairly accurate rendering of what is taking place at North Square and our downtown. We’re envisioning a bistro or two, an antique shop, residential lofts, and more. Is that Calvin on the steps, taking another break? I guess he is working on our fireplace mantel next…

BewareTwelve rotating barrels, live action trigger, 12 rubberbands per barrel… it may not stop Jack Bauer but it will certainly put an end to disruptive solicitations.
