Several Hillcrest business people gathered at Lawrance Furniture (633 University Avenue) yesterday evening for the Hillcrest Business Association’s quarterly mixer. After “30-second commercials” from guests the group learned a bit of Lawrance Furniture history…there’s been a store at this location since 1911 (before that time the land had been used as a garden for the St. Joseph’s Hospital just across the street). The son and daughter-in-law of the original owner (Howard & Julie Haimsohn) hosted the networking event. A staffer from Mayor Sanders’ office then shared information relative to small business owners as participants enjoyed samples from Porkyland.
