-''Editor's Note:''&nbsp; On August 8, 2019, this note was found on the website: "We are pleased to announce that we have an agreement with our landlords, the University of Pennsylvania, that will allow us to stay open through the summer. We'll use this time to work on a business plan that, we hope, will allow the store to stay open and prosper. We’ve talked to many people who have offered fantastic ideas, and we're excited to explore them." ~[[User:PaulSank|Paul]]
