News from Unique So Chique at Wilson and Magnolia:
Unique So Chique will be having a massive retail sale on all non-food items for this Sunday, February 1st only. Receive 60% off many great items including baby, jewelry, candles, bedding etc. This is a cash only sale due to the rising costs of credit card terminal fees. We will accept credit cards for all other purchases. We look forward to seeing you.
Probably because he sends the info to UU...
ReplyDeleteNow if the drug dealers, gang-bangers, and prostitutes would be so kind as to give UU notice of when and where they're offering special sales...
Darn, seems like there is a deleted comment here, so I am missing you point Bradley. TELL ME TELL ME!!
ReplyDeleteProbably someone claiming that UU owns Unique So Chique and questioning why Unique So Chique's sales are publicized here.
ReplyDeleteoh.
ReplyDeleteTrust me..Robert at UsC is a great guy but no way could he pull off UU. He still uses a dial up connection.
ReplyDeleteOn a side note I had a guy ask me the other day if I was behind UU. Chip Douglas behind UU? God help us all.
Thanks for the sale Robert, now buck up and take those credit card fees like a man! It's to dangerous to carry a wad in Uptown. Hi oh!
"Probably someone claiming that UU owns Unique So Chique and questioning why Unique So Chique's sales are publicized here."
ReplyDeleteThat was me, although I was merely asking why U SO C appears to get lots of free publicity on UU.
Of course, my comment was quickly removed. But times must be hard for this biz if they're going for "cash only" sales on certain items.
That's cool with me.
ReplyDeleteI thought the same thing....credit card fees or tax evasion?
ReplyDeleteBut on a serious note - I wonder why the questions about the relationship with UU and UsC are brought down? I asked about the relationship between Crew and UU once too and got no answer....but as a blogger myself (Edgewater Crime Blotter) I will defend the UU and say there may not be any relationship, we're only as smart as the info we receive from the outside & readers or that we can dig up ourselves.
"But on a serious note - I wonder why the questions about the relationship with UU and UsC are brought down?"
ReplyDeleteIt is because the guy who wrote it has been pestering the blog all day with random acts of annoyingness.
I'm not speaking for UU but I think it has gotten personal with billyjoe. He's such a "Debbie Downer" I think UU is just tired of seeing his name.
ReplyDeleteIts totally unfair. Also seems a little catty. I personally understand his humor, and nobody ever really has a good comeback besides, "You don't live in our hood! Go Away!" You are so negative! We can't solve problems by living in fantasy land.
ReplyDeleteI like the "welcome to the cold, hard world of reality" attitude.
I agree with deleting hateful speech, but critical or opposition speech? Come on.
I am so getting deleted, so I might as well go on.
Such censoring makes me wonder if I would ever want to support a candidate for office that is supported by this site. It appears that they would be the same as Shiller, just quell the opposition at all costs! Never admit you are wrong! It is exactly what we don't need.
People should try to pay more attention to what Obama really stands for and follow his example.
Anyway, I encourage everybody to stop by Unique and make a purchase! And LOOSEN UP!
HB,
ReplyDeleteThey may not answer because they may not want to take any chances of being identified.
Does it really matter who UU is? How many of you know who I am? Does it make my comments any better or worse? And I, too, don't mind Billy Joe's comments. Sometimes he/she is a little off base, but so am I on occasion. We all are. Like the man said, "Loosen up."
ReplyDeleteWow, so many comments on this and I just stepped away from the computer for a while.
ReplyDeleteLet me clarify, we go out of our way to support most any business in Uptown that needs a bit of advertising. Whether it is Crew, Kahawa House, Fontana Grill, Unique So Chique, Alternatives, etc. We, like most residents, want to see Uptown businesses flourish, especially in these challenging economic times. Read whatever you want into it. We will continue to promote whomever writes in asking for a little advertising. It does get tiresome when commenters question why a certain business receives publicity...the simple answer is, because they wrote in. Now back on topic.
Oddly enough, I'm beginning to despise Evanston, simply because of Billjoe's loopy comments.
ReplyDeleteThanks for all the UU commenters for your support--and derision.
ReplyDeleteBack to topic.
Someone mentioned that the U So C owner is running a business using a dial-up Internet connection. Obviously, this might not be the truth, but if so, it's no way to run a business in today's high-speed access world.
As Unique does have a Web site (just checked) I doubt that the "dial-up" claim is true.
"Someone mentioned that the U So C owner is running a business using a dial-up Internet connection. Obviously, this might not be the truth,"
ReplyDeleteYour right BJ. I know nothing about Roberts store. Never been there. Never met the guy. Ive never volunteered with WAMA. I have never ate at his place. I don't live 200 yards from his store. My family doesn't consider him a friend.
Now back to the real world..
"it's no way to run a business in today's high-speed access world."
Because all these companies asking for government bailouts run so smooth and efficient using high speed connections?
Alright, I just have to say this....its just laying out there...
ReplyDeleteI bet Holsten wishes he could just delete opposing comments just like UU does.....
JOKING! J/K!!
But Jason...didn't you know? That's exactly what Peter and Helen do.
ReplyDeleteJason..
ReplyDeletePlease get over the fact that UU deletes your comments. I went through the same battle with them last summer. Then I came to an understanding...ITS NOT PERSONAL.
You have to look at UU like a house. They own the house so they can make the house rules. Do you let people come in to your house and do as they please? Or do you ask them to take their shoes off, use a coaster, ect? Its not personal..you just want to keep your house nice and eventually you pick friends who not only respect you, but your house.
So that being said, you need to learn to get your point across without offending the house rules. I had to....
I am surprised that wasn't deleted! Well, it was supposed to be funny....
ReplyDeleteI also think I made my point, so I am over it.
Jason,
ReplyDeleteI'm with Chip on this. I, too, have had my share of comments deleted from posts. And not even my most offensive ones (believe me when I say I've posted some pretty offensive stuff). I don't know why they delete or how they determine what is deleted but they do and I don't take offense at all. Like he says, it's their house. We are just all thankful this forum is here for without it we would be like dust in the wind. All to Helen's delight.
See above post...
