Dicho’s bookstore closes location in Dallas’ Bishop Arts district

by PegNews wire

DALLAS — Dicho's bookstore closed down its location in Bishop Arts -- seemingly after a spat with the landlord and with fellow tenant Cretia Drydale, owner of Cretia's on McKinney.

It's hard to tell what's what: Did Dicho's owners slack on the Bishop Arts store because they opened a second location at Willow Bend in Plano? Or is Drydale in cahoots with the landlady so that she can open a bigger Cretia's than the little pastry stand she had inside Dicho's?

Dicho's owners say they'll look for a space in Oak Lawn.

Ugh! Another mess in the B.A.D. part of town.So tired of going to that area and finding stores open every other Tuesday from 4:15 pm to 5:43pm (expect the fourth Tuesday of the month), or something just as silly as that.

Sorry, no tears for Dichos. When you've got book stores all around town open all hours (not the mention the convenience of online shopping), how are you going to compete being open as few as they were? On Sundays, they were only open 11am to 3pm! Give me a break!

I mourned the loss of Nodding Dog because I loved the space (granted the addition of the bar added confusion as to its real direction), but now I really love the space of Cafe Brasil because it's the only place open in that area with regular hours that you can count on.
