Magnolia Studios

Edited sign taken by me at old shop before moving.

 While it may seem to make this blog too CNY-centric, Eastwood Hair & Beauty Co. are moving from the outskirts of Syracuse to the village of Liverpool several miles away after their lease with Skinner Realty was not renewed (it has now been confirmed that it was because of a row over HVAC, and my family also no longer deal with this landlord either, who is the Mr Fischoeder of Eastwood, and no relation to Principal Skinner for that matter). They shall now be called Magnolia Studios on 200 Salina St (not to be confused with the one in the city). One stylist will now be at Self Care Club in the same plaza. Adelines Barber Shop on 1st and Tulip Sts next door to Nichols is now vacant, but may have been too old hat for the ladies or just not available; I don't know. Magnolia are just blocks from NY 370 and CR 57, close to Heids, Onondaga Lake Park, Amazon (to a lesser extent), the library, and parkway (no lorries allowed!). It's too bad they couldn't stay in Eastwood anymore, losing the convenience for me, taking my bike in warmer months (it doesn't usually leave a three-mile radius of the house, mind), as well as for older customers, perhaps. Also, they won't get to be near the new coffee shop and charity shop in the old plaza. Unless I read that a CrossFit gym is going in EHBC/Magnolias old space, a Fantastic Sams or Cost Cutters may as well go into that spot to fill the vacuum, even with national chain Dollar General being the one non-local tenant in the plaza. Just hope whoever moves in gets on better than Eastwood Hair & Beauty had. The plot thickens, as it always does, you know.

The old guard before closing up. Watch this space.

New sign fresh from the printers next to the settee.

Not to be confused with Magnolia Studio & Co. in Keyser, WV.
