Nick Horvath Opens Modern Decodence on S. Broadway
What a happy piece of news! Nick Horvath is one of the rare people who is universally loved by all. He's just the nicest guy in town. And - MAN - does he have the eye for Modern! He is smart as a whip regarding all things mid-century, and his taste is impeccable! So, it won't surprise anyone to learn that his new shop, at 1421 S. Broadway, is a MUST-SEE!

"I am going to specialize in my brand of 'Sophisticated Twentieth Century Modern Furniture and Decorative Arts',"says Nick, "which is my tag line." You can expect to see plenty of sleek, clean modern lines in Nick's shop, but be prepared for a dash of what I call "Gabor style" thrown happily into the mix. (That's Zsa Zsa and Eva...) Who can resist?
Hours are Tuesday - Saturday 11-6, and Sunday 12-5. The shop is closed Mondays.
Modern Decodence is at 1421 S. Broadway! Add it to your shopping route!

Nick's new shop is just the latest in a series of big changes on South Broadway's Antique Row. American Vogue has closed. We just heard Celebrity Vintage is also closing. Lee Alex Decor has moved. Popular Culture has moved. Who can keep up?

Curious to see:
a) An original Robert-The-Robot (remakes available on TuesdayMorningOffers.com) - I want the little record that plays when you crank the handle on his back. The new one has an "updated sound system" (probably a cheap digital chip like you would find in a greeting card). As a kid I smashed my new RTR to see how the sound worked.
b) Dick & Jane books - curious to see some originals. Also looking for some reprints at a reasonable price - originals can run several hundred $.
