Rock On, Rockridge
I need new frames for my glasses, so I decided to swing by Rockridge in search of something fun. Unfortunately, while the stuff in this neighborhood is both hip and unique, it comes with a price tag to match. With this in mind, I went to put on my most stylin’ yes-I-can-afford-$600-frames gear, only to remember that, oh yeah, I don’t have any. I then considered borrowing a lap dog for the afternoon, until I realized that none of my friends’ dogs fit in tote bags. Finally, I settled on a mildly art-y outfit, hoping I could pass for a Berkeley student who wandered astray after inhaling too many paint fumes. Thus disguised, I was pleasantly surprised to find a set of frames that are (literally) one-of-a-kind, but far below the $600 range. My goal was to check out styles and colors, hit eBay for this round, and then support the local economy after I make my first million. However, it looks like this trip to Rockridge was not all window-shopping. I just need to grab a friend with a good eye (no pun intended, I swear) and revisit those frames. If I buy them, look for the shop in question as the next Rad Business. No CommentSay your words |
