Modern Artifacts took over the Carytown space formerly occupied by the Phoenix, which closed in January and reopened next door. Modern Artifacts sells handmade housewares, ceramcs, light fixtures and home goods. Owners Sharon and Bill Montgomery opened at 3030 W. Cary St. on March 9.

At Stony Point Fashion Park, a few new shops are opening. Love Culture, a women’s clothing, shoes and accessories store, and Teavana, a tea bar and retail shop, will open this spring. Joseph Frye, general manager for the mall, said both are expected to open in the next eight to 10 weeks.

Why not retail on Broad and Gace streets downtown?
Also in Carytown, Ingrid’s Bakery at Cary Street and Shields Avenue…Carytown????? I didn”t think Carytown on anyone’s map goes past the Boulevard let alone past the closed GRTC bus barn. Uptown, Fan Extended, Cary Street but not Carytown.
