I set up the Wife’s laptop at the store so her customers could vote. She has a few recommendations: Best Ladies’ Apparel Store – Linnea’s Boutique Best Locally Owned Clothing Store – Linnea’s Boutique Best Consignment Clothing Shop – Rubenesque for Less From Ginia Bellafante at the NYT: Perhaps nowhere is the cultural confusion surrounding the larger woman more pronounced than in the clothing industry’s efforts to dress her. According to a 2008 survey conducted by Mintel, a market-research firm, the most frequently worn size in America is a 14. Government statistics show that 64 percent of American [...] From Mike Fuchs at the N&R: Duck decoys, railroad lanterns, a painting of the Queen Mary ocean liner, a hotel coffee service set and nautical memorabilia are some of what you’ll find at Southwyck Antiques & Gifts (517 State St.; 617-6254)… Her son David Hoskins owns the Dan River Company in Stokes County. Diana Carl’s daughter, Jody Martin, [...] From Stephanie Clifford at the NYT: The standard clothing that most stores have focused on in recent years fits fewer and fewer people.

They blocked off the street in front and a band played in the parking lot across the street. Someone even provided for a large golf cart and girls to shuttle folks from and to their cars. At least [...] Be sure to visit YES! Weekly Triad’s Best Ballot and vote for Linnea’s Boutique as Best local women’s clothing store. Also, please vote for Rubenesque for Less as Best thrift clothing store. Do not press enter until you are done, as your vote will be submitted and you don’t get a second chance. The [...] I dropped by the stores this morning and changed the addresses at Google Local Business Center. I received a call and confirmed the changes with a PIN they provided. Linnea’s Boutique and Rubenesque for Less continue to enjoy the finest free online advertising available. We have officially vacated the premises formerly occupied by the Wife’s plus size garment food chain. After two more days of moving, we are again completely exhausted. Fortunately, Ham’s has 99 cent Bud draught and 40 cents wings. Otherwise, we may have perished. I think someone was playing basketball. Right out of [...] From the left we have Rubenesque, Linnea’s and Southwyck Antiques. To the right is the parking lot and La Bamba’s, which seems to be perpetually stomped with business.
