Another Park Slope Biz Peaces Out: Henington Press

V. Cool (slash touching) interview from WNYC's Kathleen Horan with a local, family run Park Slope biz, Henington Press, that is shutting down after 96 years in business.

"Before Xeroxing and digital images, if a business needed a menu, a poster or a coupon booklet mass produced, they'd take it to a local printer. It would be set in type and pressed to paper - the artwork saved for the next printing. Henington Press in Park Slope, Brooklyn was just that kind of place. It's a family business that started in 1912, and it's going to close this winter."

Surprisingly, Henington isn't shutting down because of the economy...the owner is moving to the promised land. His family is already living happily in Israel and he's off to join the party.

Shalom, dude!
