To: "Charles Village Chat List" <chat@charlesvillage.info> Date: Wednesday, November 11, 2009, 6:02 PM Hello, neighbors, If you haven't had your kitchen knives sharpened in a while, I recommend that you try Adams & Assoc. in Hampden. Today I went over, and Mr. John Quincy Adams (yes, a descendant of the president) did seven knives and a pair of kitchen shears while I waited for $31. I chopped some onions, and it was great. I knew that our knives were not very sharp, but boy did this make a difference! You can reach him at (410) 889-9072. He works out of the carriage house behind his home, which he has converted into a workspace. Call before you come by, because it's often just him. To get there, take 41st west past the Rotunda and Superfresh. Turn left on Falls Rd. Go a block and turn left to go back east on 40th St. (40th St. jogs, and you see west before east.) Go about 15 yards and take the left marked "Dead End". Go the garage right behind the white house. There's a bell to ring on the garage. Interestingly, most of his business is sharpening grooming shears, which is more difficult than knives, and is apparently a dying art. His business is mostly mail-order, with clients as far away as Alaska and New Zealand. He says he is happy to do walk-in jobs but jokes that it's "pin money". (I'm remembers Saltpeter vs. Pins in "1776".) --Emil -- Emil Volcheck volch...@acm.org http://EmilVolcheck.com/ _______________________________________________ Chat mailing list Chat@charlesvillage.info http://charlesvillage.info/mailman/listinfo/chat_charlesvillage.info archive: http://www.mail-archive.com/chat@charlesvillage.info/
