The View From My window: Part 3 - Barb Ebright
This weeks blog is by Barb Ebright, COO of Mukha Spa & Mukha Essentials
Ahhh… the Short North! I’m not even sure where to begin. I suppose I should start with the fact that it’s not so much the VIEW outside my window but the EXPERIENCE outside my window that I love most about working in the Short North, especially this time of year.
Having always lived in the “burbs”, coming to work everyday in the Short North is such an exciting experience on every level. The interesting architecture, the amazing art seen everywhere you turn, the outstanding food and drink options right at my fingertips, and everything in-between. When leaving work, there are few evenings that I walk to my car not thinking about how much I’d like to trade-in my suburban home and lifestyle for a far more interesting way of life in the Short North. Who knows, maybe some day!
Then there’s working with the amazing talents of Tim Maurer and Sanito Mendoza, owners of Mukha. It has been a great privilege to work with them the past three years on product development, staff development, and everything in between. Finding personal beauty is an art, and it’s so exciting to be a part of this very special art form right here in the heart of the Short North.
First class experience… that’s what I see both inside and outside the windows of Mukha. The people, more than any other aspect of the Short North, are the most rewarding part of the area. Where else can you greet everyone on the streets - from the business owners to the casual strollers - and feel like you are REALLY part of something special? Not many places can boast this characteristic.
As a very wise woman once told me many years ago, there is a season for everything. This is such an exciting season for the Short North, for so many reasons. I couldn’t be more excited to be a part of it all!
