I was speaking to another artist this weekend and commented on the piece of jewelry she was wearing.  It had some particularly nice design work. I asked her where she'd found it and she said a place I probably had never hear of.  It was from a place her friend had, Al's.  She's an astute lady and picked up on the fact I didn't want to discuss the place and asked why.   She was really surprised what I finally told her.  Her suggestion is to ask for Al if you go in.  I won't but based on the fact she's a pretty decent person, I am passing her  suggestion along to Yelp readers.
