Forced relocation has been the death of many a beloved business here in Orlando, where ever-more voracious landlords emphasize profit over community worth. When the Space Station left their longtime Coolidge location, the outlook seemed grim. But they found a great new spot in SoDo that suits their hybrid screen-printing/arts gallery/venue operations very well. They've hosted crucial group art shows spotlighting locals and even a fashion show. Follow the stars and make your way there.
