The cute air-plant in the cat planter
Myrna S.

I just had the pleasure of meeting one of the coolest vendors ever at "The Basement" (or us townies would refer to as the old downtown post office building). I came across the "Art by Kristina" store purely by happenstance on my first visit to "The Basement". The proprietress, Kristina Simkins, greeted me warmly as I came around the corner and stumbled into her wonderfully eclectic shoppe. I was drawn by a pair of dog-themed socks but wound up getting a cute air-plant (a little succulent looking plant that doesn't require soil to thrive-- just a little mist of water) in an adorable cat-shaped planter for my boss' birthday and an awesome copper necklace with mushrooms incased in glass for my niece. This store is a total find because Miss Kristina's art works are so unique and lovely that they would truly make more memorable gifts than anything you'd find in a big, box store. Plus, Kristina was a just an awesome person and a gifted artist; it was just fun talking shop with her.

I absolutely love repurposing! Given a blank canvas, the…read morebrilliance and creativity and vision people have to repurpose a "post office " into a welcoming eclectic gathering gallery is something phenomenal! A work in progress, the basement offers retail shops such as bookstores, disc shop, bicycle shop and a fantastic curiosity shop. There is an early era barbershop, not male exclusive, restaurants, Tataima Shabu Shabu (5 stars), and more. Unfortunately we were held captive by a quarter stealing parking meter. It ate 8 quarters and gave us time for 4. . Note to everyone, there's free parking on Center Street. The basement is a fantastic place. Just allow yourself time to relax,explore and enjoy.

The Basement... a name that should strike dread in your heart because as you descend the steps you…read moreleave your mundane lives behind you and arrive in a place both ancient and modern at the same time. What exactly happens down in the Basement... nobody is quite sure. Some say there's an archaic coffee shop and a place to get morsels. Others say there's a place to be served and groomed by professional Barbers/Aestheticians. Still yet, others say there's a multitude of services for the mind and body. The walls of the Basement laden with art of the most unpredictable sort... To truly understand the Basement one must become one with the Basement and truly transcend time and space.
