Our other new face, kids’ clothing boutique Crazy 8, offers great clothes at crazy low prices. Operated by The Gymboree Corporation, at Crazy 8, you’ll find cool kids’ styles available in sizes Newborn to 14, as well as gift cards—which make great holiday treats for busy parents.

What’s Cooking?

Man-about-town George Krauth dishes on the fashions, flavors, designs and décor he discovers as he travels the globe tracking trends in his capacity as VP of Creative and Marketing for Jamestown.

W

hen Michael Phillips, C.O.O. of Jamestown and Vice Chair of the James Beard Foundation Board of Trustees, announced that he

was planning to write a cookbook, the entire Jamestown Creative & Marketing team clamored with offerings of “research” services. I personally had to come to terms with the idea of adding yet another manual to a rapidly expanding collection in a pint sized Manhattan kitchen. The justreleased Chelsea Market Cookbook offers up a feast of archival images of the market, gorgeous food photography, and entertaining anecdotes from Chelsea Market chefs and friends whose recipes grace its pages.

Also available this fall is Summerland, iconic Chef Anne Quatrano’s first cookbook. Named after her family farm and stuffed with more than 100 of her best recipes and entertaining ideas, Summerland makes each month’s harvest a reason to celebrate. Drop by Westside Provisions District in Atlanta where Quatrano is sure to be signing copies this fall.

These tastemakers have inspired me to squeeze back into the kitchen and stock the pantry. Just please keep your fingers crossed that Anne has shared her recipe for lime cornmeal cookies.

NEW LOOKS

E

arlier this year, the Alameda Planning Board approved new design guidelines

for South Shore Center, enabling us to move forward with fresh, new façade designs for several of our storefronts.

Drop by South Shore Center this season to see the first fruits of our labors. Get a gander of Loard’s bright, beautiful pink striped awnings, which make their façade and outdoor eating areas really pop with retro-ice-cream-parlor flair.

While you’re visiting, stroll by China Gourmet and Check Into Cash to take a peek at their new wood-clad façades. Be sure to follow us on Instagram @southshorecenter for sneak peeks of our new looks!
