    Greetings Broadlandians :bow:

    Just wanted to let everyone on this board know:

    Next Step Fine Comfort Footwear is now open for business!

    Where? Brambleton Town Center - By Fox Cinemas (new movie theatre)

    What on earth is this store????

    If you live out here (as I do, well as of 2 weeks ago anyway :clap:) you are aware of the total lack of shoe specialty stores (bars too, but thats a different story). So, I opened one! We specialize in comfort footwear and helping people get out from under the pain of poor footwear / unhealthy feet. We're currently carrying:

    Birkenstock
    Mephisto
    Dansko
    Naot
    Sanita
    Crocs (and Jibbitz!)
    Keen
    Footprints by Birkenstock
    Birkis by Birkenstock
    Papillio by Birkenstock
    Acorn Luxury Slippers
    Kids Express

    Additionally we offer insoles for casual and athletic shoes, and also we're a drop-off point for Birkenstock and Mephisto related footwear for REPAIR!

    As this is my first time on this board I hope I'm not violating any rules here, but if so please let me know and I'll correct at once. I'm really excited to have opened a new store, and now live in such a beautiful and amazing area, and I look forward to meeting and working with everyone!

    BROADLANDS HOA SPECIAL OFFER

    Good luck with your new store. I'm happy you will be selling Acorn slippers as they are my husband's favorites and the only local store around here that sells them is REI and that's in Fairfax. I ordered some online for him, but now that I know you sell them, I'll be paying you a visit....

    hmmmm......seems to me that if you are really trying to get this boards business, you would be a little more careful in choosing you're words in describing it.......

    Its just a personal opinion, clearly not a comment on the board, moderators, or those that post or live in the area. Definitely no offense intended.

    My thoughts exactly. Sounds like you're just trying to stir something that's not there DAD4--I read all of NSCF's posts on that thread and there's nothing remotely negative in it except the poster's opinion that the Broadlands forum is "antiseptic" (not the people, just the look of the site. You can disagree with this (I do) but I don't think it's anything to get worked up over.

    I had forgotten what the "old blue" site looked like.

    Chris - scroll all the way down to the bottom of the screen. On the left, choose one of the "experimental" styles. MUCH better. :)

    Actually, now that I've navigated the site a bit, I understand it a bit better. They're actually pretty similar, so obviously my comment makes very little sense - I'm a bit inexperienced with message boards like this (In fact I've never posted anything before approx. 2-3 weeks ago on any board whatsoever). Actually each one has stuff I like alot. If anyone was offended by my inadvertant comments, please accept my apologies.

    I actually had a different question - I'm a sponsor of Brambletonian.net - Is there a similar opportunity available here?

    Vote of non-negativity appreciated. You think the Chargers can give your Pats a game this weekend, or are we looking at a Redskin-ish blowout (52-7)?

    Chris,

    As to the look - hold on for just a few more days - big changes coming. See this thread for a peek of what is coming - that is not complete, but gives you an idea.

    As for sponsor/advertising, etc - contact the Broadlands HOA Ad Manager - http://www.broadlandshoa.org/newsletter/newsletter.htm

    There are both print and online opportunities within the community.

    Thanks

    Not to stray too far off-topic, but I'm cautiously optimistic. I think it will be close, but I also think we've got too many weapons and the Chargers are too banged up to pull out a victory (at least that's what I'm hoping!).

    Steve - If you care a whit about my opinon, which you may not, I think the experimental looks awesome, and really like the use of orange at the top, make the page pop that much more!

    Thanks Chris - everyone's input is welcome. The whole place is getting a facelift here very shortly. Mainly limited by the free time of the volunteers who operate the site.

    Hey Chris -- I LIVE in Danskos and have so far been ordering from zappos or Nordstrom as I have big feet. (Ladies 12N). Will you be carrying those sizes, say, up to 32 and 34? *oh please, oh please*
