My editor,
lanalucy, told me before we started an editing session today that Michaels is taking the retail coverage space Joanne's vacated. They're getting in inventory to sort of incorporate a Joanne's into their stores (they already have some machines and other things in their stores now), and if you log into their web page there's a link that'll show up if you're a Joanne's customer directing you to additional information (not sure how they know someone is a Joanne's customer). So that's going to be an option for y'all, and for those not in the local area and thus denied the joy of Perth street you're not stranded. Joanne's was going to try to tough it out as an online store, but they didn't know how they'd manage that because of their problems, but since Michaels is stepping up to the plate they've decided not to go down that road.
I hope this provides some hope for y'all.
