Jessica sends along this note sent out to friends of Blue Caboose from owner Michelle…

It is with mixed emotions that I am telling you that Blue Caboose is closing. I recently received an unexpected job offer which, after a lot of thought, I decided was too good to turn down.  I wish that I could keep the store going, but at the same time, I’m looking forward to spending more time with my husband and 3-year-old son.

Our closing sale starts Tuesday, August 9th. In special appreciation of our consignors,we are offering you 50% OFF purchases made using store credit. Please don’t hesitate to contact me if you have any questions about your account.  We will close at 6:00 PM on Saturday, August 27. Thank you for your support and friendship. I look forward to seeing around Decatur.

Looks like Decatur is getting a new kids clothing store, according to the sign on the post below at Ponce (Ave) & Ponce (Place)!

Blue Caboose  – at 308 Ponce Place – will feature both new and “nearly new” clothing for your kids.  (Or someone else’s kid for that matter.)  The store is opening this Saturday, May 8th.
