no, rosemary certo, owner of dock street, sold her pizza
rustica (oct 2005). and then the local vendors at the
firehouse vacated (nov 2005). the installation of certo's
dock street (closed since 2001) at the firehouse meant that
local vendors (thriving, according to ucd in 2004) first had
to move elsewhere.
