Now & Then You See It, Now & Then You Don't

Sure looks like recently resurrected Dead shop Now & Then is dead again, in the fastest store shuttering in New Hope PA since the engraved soap debacle at the Historical Society's floody barn near the Playhouse.

Although store lifespans in New Hope often approach that of the average fruit fly, this one may wind up being attributed to a difference among partners.

History tells us, however, this may well not be the last we see of Now & Again...it's a Dead store that just won't die.

Ramble on Rose.

Now and Then Shop Returns to New Hope PA

New Hope PA cultural icon Now and Then Shop is back and getting ready to celebrate its 40th year! It's just re-opened on Ney Alley steps up from the New Hope Candle Shop on South Main Street.

The place is crammed with posters, stickers, t-shirts and jewelry that reflect the Grateful Dead lifestyle. Owner Lynne Greene was in charge of the old place, too, and is a great source of local history and insight. She also still works at the Starbucks; feels those folks are treating her pretty good, too.

Partner Jessica adds dog toys, hippie artifacts and shishas to the mix, and is also a local celebrity in her own right.

The Now and Then Shop is back! Visit them on Facebook at "Now and Then Shop", New Hope Funky Stuff or 215-205-0966.

Now and Then: Another New Hope original.

New Dead Store on Ney Alley in New Hope PA?

This new store just popped up out of nowhere in New Hope PA, so if anyone has any idea what it is and what they plan to sell, please let us know.

"Enchanting Creations" says it's the home of the "Now & Then"? Does that mean somebody found Max's (may he rest in peace) stash of posters, buttons, and water pipes? A store that's "home" to another store?

Is it me?

Then again, this is New Hope, so well capitalized and planned businesses with clear and informative signage are not overly common.
