[Steppes] Sari Shops?

[McFarland, Glenn]

Those shops on the North side of 183 between O'Conner and Carl road are gone now. The whole shopping center has been torn down to make way for freeway expansion.

That electronics place is not a good place for sari's, they are more expensive than the place that used to be a furniture store that at the end of that road, I lost over 200 there.

My favorite sari shop is on 183 in Irving.  North side of freeway, I can’t remember the exit, but it’s west of loop 12.  It used to have a sign over it that said “FABRIC” in bright colours, but I think the sign is gone. The sign on the western end of the building says Royal Sweets. The shop is smaller than it used to be—they now sell furniture and bedding and stuff, too.  But, the sari selection is pretty amazing.  They have unfinished shoes in 4ft tall boxes that you basically dive through! :D

Here is a quote from an old email in the steppes Archive:
