Retrospect (CLOSED)

Fans of the cheery Environment337, located two doors up from Retrospect, will sense a little Jekyll-and-Hyde action going on with owner Loren Sosna’s buying habits. Her newest shop is a shrine to all that is sinister and steampunk. The cavernous space is loaded with religious iconography, creepy crawlies encased in Lucite, antler plaques, and more globes and compasses than a Lewis and Clark expedition. It’s otherworldly and wonderful, and not nearly as scary as it sounds.
