A sign on the window shows Plum Dandy Frozen Yogurt will open this spring at the Broadway spot Eugenio's Cafe Gelato recently vacated. It will have some direct competition across the street, with Steve's Handcrafted Ice Cream and Italian Ice Johnny's Gourmet Italian Ices also opening this spring.

Look for more details on the owners and outlooks of those businesses in a column (print and online editions) in March.

And, after months of uncertainty, it appears that 80 West Boutique on North Broadway will indeed be reopening -- under new ownership. The store has been slowly emptied of most of its merchandise since around Christmas, but no word yet on who will be responsible for stocking it back up. As the sign says, stay tuned.
