“It was a landmark and an institution for a lot of people,” said Phil von Kahle, principle of Michael Moecker & Associates and trustee of the brand. “It was quite a place for local artists.”

Pearl Artist & Craft Supply also had a warehouse in Wilton Manors, von Kahle said. [SFBJ] – Christopher Cameron
