‘Newbie’ maker collective adds gifts, plants and untamed flair with … – Startland News

The West Bottoms might be known for its vintage shops, but a just-opened maker collective full of new retail is hoping to add to the neighborhoods narrative.

12th Street Post a mixed-use retail space with about 80 local makers and vendors at 1501 West 12th St. celebrated its grand opening Dec. 2.

12th Street Post

The new project is led by Austin Mosier, who owns West Bottoms Plant Co. and Untamed Supply with his partner Tristan Carlson.

Its just a little something different in the West Bottoms, Mosier said. We do have a small vintage and thrifted area. But its all mostly new products all made by Kansas City (vendors) and then lots of plants, of course. I love all the vintage, but its fun to be a little different. Were the newbie down here.

12th Street Post has something for everyone, said maker Annie Austen whose jewelry and accessories are featured in the shop and the space has the potential to bring a different crowd to the West Bottoms.

Really providing representation to the 70-plus local makers that are represented in here is so important to us, she said, but also just adding a little different flair to that typical West Bottoms fare. I love a vintage find. I love shopping in the West Bottoms and this really just expands upon all the fun things that are happening here already.

After having to move out of their former West Bottoms Plant Co. location at 11th and Mulberry streets, Mosier said they were hoping for room to quickly grow, although the historic post office building has a little more space than they bargained for.

This was really one of the only spaces available in the West Bottoms, he explained. We kind of wanted to upsize, but we didnt know it was gonna be this big necessarily. Then we just ended up having a group of friends who also were needing spaces. So it kind of happened very naturally. We havent really had to look for people to be artists here.

The retail space in the new building is about three times bigger, according to Mosier, which has allowed them to double the number of local makers that they carry.

Were still kind of growing that, too, he added.

On top of the retail space, 12th Street Post will offer studio and working spaces. The resident businesses include Amity & Vine Salon (which offers pay-what-you-can hair cuts and complimentary yoga classes), Annie Austen, MackBecks, Motion House Studio, Untamed Supply, and West Bottom Plant Co.

For Austen whose jewelry and accessories can also be found at Shop Local KC and Bella Patina in the West Bottoms having the studio space is a game changer for the business she started during the pandemic, she said.

We started it in our house and everything kind of took off quicker than what we expected, she continued. When we were sort of manifesting as a dream studio space, we really wanted to be in a collective environment where we werent just isolated in some specific shop. We were going to be in an environment where other people were growing their businesses, as well, and where we could also monetize whatever space we were in. So its perfect for us. We are able to have a booth and events downstairs. We have our studio upstairs for private events or for me to make a mess and work away.

Austin Mosier, 12th Street Post

Mosier is hoping to be able to host pop-ups, charity events and artist fairs in the expanded space, he said. The shop also is planning Third Thursday events, which will allow customers to tip extra in order to gift a shopping or service experience to someone else.

They also would like to eventually add a coffee bar or space with grab-and-go food, Mosier added.

12th Street Post is about celebrating community and the incredible businesses that are excited about collaborating in a unique shared space that supports creating, he explained in a news release. Were so excited to reinvigorate shopping in the West Bottoms in a new way that offers customers the chance to meet the owners behind the business, explore unique pop-ups, and experience a new way to shop and support local.

Family-owned, Lancaster-based cafe and bakery coming to Lebanon County – ABC27

LEBANON, Pa. (WHTM) A family-owned cafe and bakery named Mill 72 is soon opening a new location in Lebanon County.

Mill 72, established back in 2018, officially opened its first location in Manheim in February 2019, according to co-owner of Mill 72 Brian Miller.

The cafe and bakerys name, Mill 72, is representative of two things, according to its website:

Mill 72 offers many different food and beverage options to its customers offering over 20 different specialty coffee/tea drinks, fresh baked pastries, all-day breakfast and lunch, salads, sandwiches, soups, and more, according to its website.

The cafe and bakery also have two other locations based in Manheim one location offers a full food and beverage menu, whereas the smaller location by the Pleasant View Communities offers just drinks and pastries.

Mill 72s Manheim locations can be found at:

According to Miller, the family decided on their new location in Lebanon County for a multitude of reasons, starting with being closer to one of their daughters who recently moved out to Lebanon. Mill 72 was also in need of more kitchen space due to growing demand for their products, which is why they chose to move into a 5,000-square-foot space.

With the opening of its third location, Mill 72 expects to create 12-15 mainly part-time jobs. According to Miller, the Lebanon Mill 72 has multiple available positions that they are hiring for, such as bakers, line cooks, and baristas.

Mill 72s new location is expected to open in spring 2023, according to Miller. The new Mill 72 will be located on 1784 Quentin Road in Lebanon, right off of Rt. 72 adding to the already increasingly noticeable development in that part of Lebanon. Currently, the family believes the new Mill 72 will share similar hours to their Manheim locations, which are:

One of the things we really want others to know is that this is more than just a business for us, Miller said. This is a place for the community to gather and enjoy.

Panorama – Co-location of energy could significantly cut the cost of expanding renewables – Renewable Energy Magazine

The report outlines how co-location could incentivise the development of battery storage and the expansion of a variety of energy sources including solar and wind power, as well as low-carbon hydrogen production. It could also help to accommodate new energy needs such as an increase in electric vehicle charging.

Setting up a new site, especially for storage assets, is currently a long and often costly process, involving planning permission, leasing costs and establishing a grid connection. By co-locating a new renewable generation or storage asset behind an existing grid connection, developers will be able to both expedite and bring down the costs of developing the UKs renewable generation capacity.

Savings can be made by reducing capital and operational costs through using existing infrastructure and land that would otherwise be under-utilised and by taking advantage of spare grid connection capacity. There is also the potential to co-locate the energy generation site with the demand site of a business, which could see savings by cutting the cost of importing the energy.

While costsavings are a primary gain of co-locating, an additional related benefit to adding a new asset to an existing one is quicker connection to the grid. With some storage assets facing a wait for a grid connection beyond 2030, co-location will speed up getting these online, which in a global energy supply crisis has never been more important.

As the UK transitions to net zero, energy generation will become increasingly dominated by intermittent renewable generators said Dr Matthew Chadwick, Lead Research Analyst at Cornwall Insight. If we are to guarantee a consistent supply of energy, then more renewable generation and importantly increased energy storage will be essential. Despite this, concerns over planning permission, grid connectivity and leasing expenses are all putting up barriers. Through co-location of energy assets, we can utilise land that is already being used for renewables and storage, and use untapped grid capacity, cutting the cost and timeframe of expanding renewables - something desperately needed if we are to wean ourselves off unstable foreign energy imports. As co-location expands there will be an increasing number of case studies for renewable generators and developers to turn to for best practice, and most importantly the pitfalls to avoid. This could see the ironing out of some challenges and complexities that may have put people off co-locating in the past. Ultimately, if the UK wants to stay on track with its net zero transition, and secure energy supply for decades to come, co-location will need to be an essential tool in the process.

Academy system will shift physical organization of Bearden through co-location – The Bark

The academy system at Bearden is already shifting the physical landscape of the traditional school via co-location.

The freshman academy already benefits from co-location, where classrooms within an academy are grouped together physically on campus, and this process will continue next year when Bearden rolls out the upperclassman academies.

This location of the Bearden High campus opened more than 50 years ago on Sept. 3, 1969, and administration quickly realized during preparations for the academy system that the layout of the building would prove to make co-location more difficult than expected.

Our building is old, and there are parts of the school that are physically separated from the rest, freshman academy dean Mrs. Rebecca Nutter said. [Principal] Mrs. [Debbie] Sayers and the administrative team at BHS are doing their best to design co-location for the academies despite these challenges.

Co-location does not necessarily mean that all of students classes will be in one area as specialized classrooms such as the gym, art rooms, and science labs cannot move around.

Additionally, when the career academies begin, students will still have the option to take courses that are either global or not aligned with their academy, which will put their classes in different parts of the building.

There are many benefits of co-location in relation to the academy, including being able to efficiently find classes, being around students who share many classes and interests, and teachers within an academy being able to easily collaborate.

The biggest benefit of co-location for students is that it helps Bearden feel smaller, Mrs. Nutter said. BHS is a huge school, and we often have students, especially in 9th grade, who struggle to adjust to a school the size of Bearden.

Co-location takes out some of the expanse of the building by locating classes closer to one another.

Added freshman Kendall Coe: The classes being so nearby helps us get to class on time and even leaves time for me to talk to friends before class.

Coe said she has even seen the benefits of teachers from two core classes being able to help one another with content.

Like in biology, if were working on something, our math teacher may show us how to do the math that relates to what were learning in biology at the time, Coe said.

Co-location existed on campus prior to the academy model, but with teachers in close proximity to other teachers in their subject area.

This made it easy to stay connected with other teachers in our departments, Mrs. Nutter said. The co-location is changing now to academy-based co-location. This directly supports one of the goals of the academy model, which is to create a smaller learning community.

Additionally, having different subjects within the academy in the same area of the building allows teachers to build more personal relationships with students and to discuss how to help individual students best learn and grow.

Previously, these discussions would require a walk across the school or a less-personal email, Mrs. Nutter said. Now, I can have these discussions face-to-face with other teachers as we stand in the hallway.

Just this week, administration asked freshmen to complete an anonymous survey about their experience at BHS so far. In that survey, 70% of respondents said their transition to high school has been smooth.

Additionally, co-location has cut down on tardiness and behavior issues in the hallway, Mrs. Nutter said.

Bearden will announce the details of the physical locations of the academies sometime next semester.

Bed Bath & Beyond closing Mequon location | Ozaukee Co. Business News | gmtoday.com – Greater Milwaukee Today | GMToday.com

MEQUON Bed Bath & Beyond will be closing its doors after more than two decades in Mequon, providing some unique opportunities for city officials at one of the busiest corners in the city.

The retail property brokerage firm Mid-America Real Estate Group has listed the space located at the northern end of the Mequon Pavilions on Port Washington Road just south of Mequon Road as up for lease.

It is one of many Bed Bath & Beyond locations that will be closing, partially due to the department stores strategic plan focused on better serving customers, as well as driving growth and profitability, according to a company press release.

Mequon Alderman Brian Parrish, who sits on the citys Personnel and Finance Committee, said the closing happens to be coincidental, as city officials including Mayor Andrew Nerbun and Economic Development Board Chairman Tim Carr recently met with Brixmor. The New York City-based publicly traded company owns and operates The Pavilions and more than 400 other shopping centers across the U.S. Mequon city officials hope to expand their partnership with Brixmor, Parrish said.

Brixmor has expressed interest in the citys upcoming efforts to improve the Port Washington Road corridor, which looks to spur economic redevelopment by considering design alternatives using new lighting, landscaping, signage and other public amenities on Port Washington Road between County Line and Mequon roads.

Parrish said the city is finalizing initiatives for commercial redevelopment on the west side and new development opportunities on the east side, north of Highland Road, allowing for a renewed focus for redevelopment of the Port Washington corridor. The economic development board of Mequon has identified priority sites along the Port Washington Road corridor that includes the northern end of The Pavilion, he said.

With this, this city is considering new zoning districts and modified tax increment district (TID) incentives for redevelopment projects with the hope of revamping an area that has not been very active nor has achieved some of the goals of the community.

Although we view Bed Bath & Beyond as a high-end retailer, we hope this could be an opportunity to collaborate with Brixmor to achieve a higher and better use for the site in the immediate future, Parrish said, adding that two-thirds of the southern-end of The Pavilions have been heavily invested in, resulting in a vibrant retail environment.

Mequons Director of Planning & Development Kim Tollefson said a variety of tools are being considered including revised zoning districts and streetscape design plans. These will be further evaluated by the Common Council in 2023.

Animales Barbeque Co. looks to open brick-and-mortar location – Bring Me The News

The owner of Animales Barbeque Co. is partnering with another local restaurateur to find its own brick-and-mortar location.

Animales Barbeque Co. got its start as a food truck in 2018 at Able Seedhouse + Brewery in Northeast Minneapolis. Most recently, it has operated out of Bauhaus Brew Labs.

On Wednesday, owner Jon Wipfli announced on Instagram that Animales Barbeque Co. was partnering with Billy Tserenbat, owner of Billy Sushi in North Loop.

Together, the pair are looking to find a permanent space for Animales Barbeque Co. "in the new year," according to the announcement.

Billy brings a lot to the table and its finally time to get a real, permanent home for our bbq operation. We have a few spaces in mind but if you know any others please share with us! the post read.

Animales Barbeque Co. was in the headlines this past September after it was told by the City of Minneapolis that the food truck could no longer use offset smokers (ie. smokers set outsidethe truck), and it prepared to cease operations starting on Oct. 1.

But after working with the city, Animales was able to continue using the smokers through November. The food truck said it is also pushing for a city ordinance that would open the door in the future to more and better bbq in Minneapolis."

The food truck is considered to produce some of the best BBQ in Minnesota, winning acclaim even from the south, with Animales mentioned in this July write-up from Texas Monthly.

The truck closed for the season on Nov. 19.
