We were starting to get that here in Ballard but it is too little, too late, for us.<br>I hope that our sad experience will be an inspiration and reminder to Ballard residents to sincerely commit themselves to shopping  at local businesses. <br>Our sale will be fun...we have prizes.

Men\'s clothes, like women\'s, come in different lines to fit different demographics, and I think you will find that the clothes at Blackbird are more suitable for the very young and the very slim.<br><br>The same was true of women\'s clothes at Olivine, where I was separated from enormous hunks of cash 10 years and 50 lbs ago. Bellas carries lovely high quality clothes for the woman of say 30 and up, where Olivine catered to the 20-something crowd. The clothes lines are also (in retail lingo) "junior" at stores like Olivine and "missy" at stores like Bella. They are cut larger and the styling is different.<br><br>I am devastated to see Bella\'s go. Ella Mon is also a lovely, lovely store, but I am more likely to find gifts for my mom and sister at Bellas. <br><br>That said, I have for many years done virtually ALL of my shopping in Ballard. KAVU does a nice line in men\'s shirts for the not-so-young and not-so-slim . I encourage everyone to support their small local businesses here in Ballard.</div>\

I am of the thirty something crowd but a majority of the clothing sold at Bellas is not in my fashion tastes, but it certainly doesn\'t mean I would bash them because of it.<br><br>I am sad to see Bellas go, just because the few times I have been in there the customer service has been outstanding and I have gotten many gift ideas. <br><br>I think we should be supportive of ALL shops in Ballard, regardless of the demographic they serve.<br><br>Ironically, some of those "skateboarders" you see may actually be young professionals who just choose a different mode of transportation.</div>\

In 1997, it shifted from the "Almost Live" stereotype of the old woman, driving with her seatbelt closed in the car door, dragging on the ground, to ex-rockers and hipsters who were ready to buy a (then affordable) house and maybe have a few kids, while still having beers at Hattie’s and jamming in an alt-rock band at the Tractor. For the past decade, those tats, skateboards and rockers (not to mention cool parents) have defined Ballard\'s new brand. And their creativity and hip cache is responsible for creating what Ballard has become: a hot ‘hood. Where have you been?</div>\

We made some significant purchases at Olsen\'s and a couple of other shops during my visit last week.<br><br>Our family heritage is Scandanavian and we have four generations of history in Ballard.  I am old and started shopping in Ballard before you were born.  Not sure I agree about the melting pot comment, perhaps economically but probably not so much ethnically.  Granted, Ballard it is changing, but it is still celebrating its hardworking Scandanavian roots. <br><br>When I have a difficult time finding parking, get sideswiped on the sidewalk by skateboarders, worry about getting mugged by vagrants (see Nordic Woman\'s warning) and continually have fewer and fewer shops in which to make purchases  I may choose to spend my money somewhere else.  The guilt trip of "shopping local" doesn\'t hinder me but "Shop Ballard" is what I would like to do.<br><br>If you think it is the "owners, employees or promoters of local  businesses" that are keeping Ballard alive you are sadly mistaken.  Any business model that fails to recognize that it is all about the customers is doomed to fail.  Certainly there must be some interesting metrics - what is the average life of a business in Ballard, what is the turnover rate, etc.<br><br>I would suggest that instead of being so defensive and contrary, it would be a better use of your corporate energy to find ways to make Ballard an appealing, convenient and safe place to shop.  Sell the idea of Shop Ballard!<br><br>Makes me wonder what the Chamber of Commerce is doing.  Is there a downtown association?  Perhaps you \'unruly skateboarders\' should get off your boards and support efforts to make Ballard a great place to shop!</div>\

I may not be a target market for a tatoo parlor,  but for many of the shops, current and out of business, I am.  Money speaks loudly.  And even at the tatoo parlor, when one of my children was in college I did give them a gift certificate for a tatoo. <br><br>If Ballard wants people to shop in Ballard, they need to spend some time and enegy figuring out how to improve what they bring to the table - this should be a continual ongoing process.

Believe it or not, our whole aesthetic is based on how men in Ballard dressed  30, 50 and 100 years ago.  We try to offer options that can not be found in other stores; that is why we do not carry Tommy Bahama style shirts (see their store in U-Village).  It\'s impossible to meet everyone\'s needs but we do try to listen when customers ask for help.  Please speak up if there is something you don\'t see.<br><br>Stores like, Bella\'s, Ella Mon, Asher Anson, Horseshoe, Kavu, Re-Soul and Dolce Vita are all part of our Ballard balance.  We are a small town within a big city.  We should be happy for the businesses that can survive here and shed a tear for the ones that leave.  There is not one retailer in Ballard that is not hurting right now and I encourage everyone stay positive and keep supporting your favorites.<br><br>We chose Ballard for its diversity.  Blue collar mixed with white collar; singles, couples, families, grandparents and lots of dogs.  We have one of everything here in our neighborhood except for a grocery store.  We should get mad about this issue.<br><br><br>Lastly, THANK YOU Bella\'s!!!  You\'ll always be a part of our neighborhood and I wish you a prosperous future at your flagship store.  <br><br>-Nicole</div>\
