A blast from the past. This video was made for the “grand opening” of the Corrugated Box Building back on St. Patrick’s Day in 2005. Morgan Pierce, now with 3north, collaborated with others in the building including circleSstudio, one of the original tenants along with 3north and Grace Street (which, unfortunately, no longer exists).
Enjoy this video for auld lang syne.
Check out RVAnews for the story on Chef Andy Howell’s newest incarnation in the Corrugated Box Building: Camden’s Dogtown Market. (Lunch time crowds seem to approve wholeheartedly.)
Through the end of the year, the former Ejay Rin location will exclusively be a sandwich and salad lunch spot. The new operating hours will be 11am – 2:30pm, Monday through Friday.
Beginning in 2012, however, the location will expand its concept and become Camden’s Dogtown Market. The reason? “There isn’t a single convenience store,” in this area, said Howell. Residents of the Manchester area have to drive into Forest Hill if, for instance, they want to buy a loaf of bread or any other basic foodstuff. Not only will Camden’s Dogtown Market offer typical convenient store fare, but they will utilize their approximate 25-seat restaurant layout to additionally offer a sit down lunch menu. Later, they plan to add dinner hours. Howell spoke of coming from a family of grocers. His grandfather, for instance, owned a grocery store in Georgia.

Thanks for your kind words. Although there are no on-staff positions available for the Corrugated Box Building, several of the companies have posted for positions including COLAB, Tumblr, 3north and Mobelux. We try to re-blog these postings when we see them, but you may want to follow their respective Twitter accounts for specifics and qualifications needed.
One more day. Ejay Rin re-opening tomorrow. New menu at Corrugated Box Building.
