I received an interesting call today from a man named David Garrett in Atlanta, Georgia. David has 25 years of experience as an architect (in fact, he grew up in Highpoint, North Carolina—“Furniture Capital of the World”) and, for the last 13 years, has operated his own interior design company. He is aggressively and enthusiastically looking to change directions, however, and has recently started an LP rack business called Nomad Crates.

Several years ago, under different ownership, the magazine was moved from our 110 Fifth Avenue office in Union Square to our current 261 Madison Avenue location in Murray Hill.

And a couple of years after that, we were moved again, from the 6th floor to our current location on the 5th floor.
