He will take over as the owner of Treehouse Records on April 1. Now, here's the tricky part, so follow carefully. Aside from the name change and the new ownership, Oarfolk and Treehouse are the same store . Trehus is buying the building from the present owner, Vern Sanden, but not the name. Unfortunately, Trehus has been a victim of a misleading newspaper headline.
Any writer can sympathize.
Pity the poor scribe, slaving for hours honing her copy in order to come up with a refined take on a complex subject, only to have some editor slap a pithy, reductive headline up top that might be misleading. Harried and hurried readers glance at the head and move on, not always aware what might have been said in the meat of the story. Terry Katzman's Garage D'Or Records at Lyn-Lake will be closing within a few months, which certainly is sad news. But Oarfolkjokeopus, on the corner of 26th and Lyndale, is merely undergoing a revamp. Yet, by pairing these two stores, these stories apparently gave many readers the impression that both would close.
