Has anyone ever heard of this place in Boston, well Somerville but pretty much the same thing… It’s called Artifaktori and it’s located at 22a College Avenue in Davis Square? Somehow I stumbled upon it over the weekend online and now I want to drive down and check it out. Has anyone been to this funky little store?
I’m digging that pale green (appears to be metal) cabinet along the right wall with the glass… They’ve got some funky little junky for sure. Looks like a fun place, like a piece of San Francisco broke off and landed in Boston. I’m heading down this weekend so I have to go check it out for you and I’ll give ya the scoop. I was going to say 411 but people don’t really say that anymore right? I’m totally out of the slang loop lately as I watch about 3 shows on television per week and live on the internet right now as I have so much to wrap up before leaving in 5 weeks for Germany. Eek! Time is running out…

that cabinet looks like an old medicine cabinet you would see in a doctors office. I think you meant to say the 4-1-1 correct? But who cares lingo is not that important anyway I think its silly that people my age do the abbreviation thing anyway like BFF and OMG leave it up to the teens for that. Although I myself have been caught doing it once or twice!

I actually live not too far away from this store and it is just super cute! It was right up my ally, I was so excited the first time I found it.
