Maggie & Co.

We invited Mrs. Mead to come visit our classroom to learn about her hairstyling salon on Linden Avenue. She had lots of exciting things to tell us about what things have changed on Linden Avenue and what she does in her salon. Maggie and Co. has been at 916 Linden Avenue for 9 years. Her son, Floyd, is in our class. They cut everybody's hair, do perms, colors, and curls. Floyd helps clean the glass around the shop, sweeps hair, and enjoys all that is going on in the shop. Maggie cuts people's hair as do four other people in the shop. Two people do manicures. One person does facials.

There is a hidden mystery in Maggie's shop. A tree used to grow right up through the roof of the building but it died a few years ago. Now if you visit her shop and ask to see the bathroom you will see a wooden table in there that looks like a tree stump and guess what! It IS!

The salon is located in a building that has a definite Oriental look to it. She told us that the landlord designed it to look like a place in France that they loved. It was a gift store originally that sold Oriental imports.

Maggie told us that Linden Avenue was a bit run down when she first started working in her salon but now it has beautiful islands, the seal fountain, and wide sidewalks.
