Un-crating her feelings

Stacie reports she is sadder than she thought she'd be at the Harvard Square Crate & Barrel up & closing:

... When I worked at Harvard, my office was behind the C&B and I could see it across the weird poky courtyard in the back from the window near my desk. I have gotten some things in that store that I just plain really like and still use frequently (like the vase I use the most, and wooden spoons, and cutlery).

So many things about Cambridge have changed in the last decade, that it would be a long list to include them all. This change, however, seems particularly unfortunate. ...

That's an unfortunate sentiment on the author's part. The closing of a formulaic chain store, no matter how upscale, is hardly the worst thing to happen in Cambridge in recent years.

This is a landmark modernist building, designed to show off stylish merchandise in lots of brightly-lit glass display windows. Crate & Barrel used it well. Will the next retailer be as savvy?
