116 Mechanic Street, 2009
Last year, I wrote about some of the neglected properties surrounding Lowell's, including a small run-down house across Mechanic Street from our lobby.
The house was long-abandoned, and the giant half-dead tree in front hung menacingly over passersby.
A few months ago, that little house was sold to new owners, who spent a lot of time and money renovating the building and removing the rotting tree.
The result: a very nice example of refitting an older property for a modern use.
116 Mechanic Street, Today
Last week, Superlative Coffee Roasters opened up for business at the new, much-improved 116 Mechanic Street. Superlative is a craft roaster of organic, fair trade coffees.
Jenny Super, Superlative's owner, has offered to let Lowell's customers taste samples of one of her small-batch coffees through the end of June.
Today, I sampled the shop's Signature Blend. Wonderful, wonderful stuff.
The Little Red Roaster
While there, be sure to check out their Little Red Roaster - It is often busy roasting up the latest fresh batch of beans.
Superlative is a welcome addition to our vibrant North Limestone neighborhood. Please lend your support to this great local business!
Come by the shop, pick up one of Superlative's free sample cards, and cross the street for a delicious free cup!
