Sheinart's is Closing


i have walked passed sheinart's large display windows at least three-hundred times in my life and i can count the number of dresses that have caught my eye in a good way on one hand. despite the gaudy collections of colourful, generic, bejeweled prom and bridesmaid dresses that have been staged here over the years, i must admit that my heart sank a little when i saw the signs announcing the closing sale they are currently hosting. 

sheinart's, located on atwater at the corner of ste-antoine, has been around for as long as i can remember and, while it may not be affecting as many people as when dunn's closed, i do think this is an iconic, lower westmount establishment and it always gives me pause when i come across familiar, well-loved (by some, i'm sure) businesses that are  in the process of taking their final breath, whether i liked what they had to offer or not. 

and maybe someone's mom wants to be alerted of this sale?
