Since i’ve always had a fascination with run down/abandoned places, I came across the Neuhoff Meat Packaging plant that has been abandoned for a while. However, I found out that there is a very cool boot studio, Peter Nappi, located in the repurposed abbatior. The studio is something that needs to be experienced. </p> <p>The story of the stores owner, Phillip Nappi, is as amazing as the boots and the studio itself. From the website:</p> <p><br/><span>“This new business began as a simple idea to make old-world style boots, hand-crafted in Italy. Soon, it became a passion, a passion that grew within us but also seemed to be led from beyond ourselves. Then we made a discovery that compelled us to move forward and confirmed our fate. With limited knowledge of his father’s family, Phillip discovered that Peter Nappi, the grandfather he’d never met, had been a shoemaker. It was as if his legacy wanted to be revived. At that point we knew we had been given an opportunity.</span> ” </p> <p>If you get the chance to be in Nashville, do try to make a trip to the store. More information on their website <a href="http://peternappi.com/studio/" title="Peter Nappi studio">here</a>. </p>http://www.jigartronic.com/post/16302804582http://www.jigartronic.com/post/16302804582Sun, 22 Jan 2012 14:32:00 -0500Peter NappiNashvillePhotosabandoned<img src="http://26.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_ly66yogcME1qzot3lo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Finally made it to Hatch Show Print, an old school letterpress store that’s been around since the 1800s. One of my new favorite stores in Nashville. Definitely fuels the interest I’ve recently developed in a letterpress project.</p>http://www.jigartronic.com/post/16251183212http://www.jigartronic.com/post/16251183212Sat, 21 Jan 2012 17:40:00 -0500<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_ly2hz5rYv31qi0ocso1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://barkbarkbarkbarkbarkbarkbarkbark.tumblr.com/post/16136393382/black-march-thursday-march-1st-2012-to-saturday">barkbarkbarkbarkbarkbarkbarkbark</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p><strong>BLACK MARCH</strong><br/>Thursday, March 1st 2012 to Saturday 31st March 2012</p> <p><em>With the continuing campaigns for Internet-censoring litigation such as SOPA and PIPA, and the closure of sites such as Megaupload under allegations of ‘piracy’ and ‘conspiracy’ the time has come to take a stand against music, film and media companies’ lobbyists.</em></p> <p><em>The only way is to hit them where it truly hurts.</em><br/><em>Their profit margins.</em></p> <p><em>March 2012 is the end of the 1st quarter in economic reports worldwide.</em></p> <p><em>Do not buy a single record.
