In a surprising turn of events, Laura Ly's plans to open Recess, a coffee shop in the former MIY Artistry location, have been put on hold due to a denied application. The rejection stems from the landlord's reluctance to convert the office space to a quick-service restaurant, despite Ly's efforts to clarify that her business doesn't fall under that category. Although this setback is a disappointment, Ly remains committed to finding a new location in Glenside, possibly even closer to Arcadia University, and still aims to open this fall. Her GoFundMe campaign has been paused until a new spot is secured. This unexpected twist is a reminder that even the best-laid plans can encounter unexpected hurdles, but it's how we respond to them that truly matters.
