I took over the Aroma Tea Shop on Polk st for 3 months earlier this year. The biggest stumbling block was the landlord (a trust fund) dragged its feet and eventually denied my sublease application at the end of the 3 months. With a couple friends, we had been operating semi-discreetly during this time, but didn't redo the banner outside and didn't do much marketing. Since we left, it's been taken over by the boutique next door. They kept the paint job and sandwich board sign we made. That's about all I've got the energy to rehash-- but if you catch me in person I'll tell you all about the folly of Polk Tea.
