Ballard just keeps getting sweeter.

Just a few weeks ago Blackbird opened their candy shop on the corner by Bergen Place Park. Now there’s another candy shop just around the corner. Duque Salon & Spa unveiled their sweet section this month. Giovanna Duque says that she’s been working on this for the last eight months and is carrying candy from the past like wax lips, candy cigarettes and zotz. Earlier this week she tweeted, “The cutest little old lady found her favorite candy when she was a kid in our candy store. My heart overflows with joy watching her delight.” (Thanks Nicole!)
