“The new physical format store will feel like you can meander through a series of shops, each one anchored by books,” Reisman said of the stores’ multiple product lines.Ībout a year ago, I happened upon this statement about the Monitor in the Harvard Business Review – under the charming heading of “do things that don’t interest you”: (Currently only the company's Toronto store has an Apple section.) Reisman called the revamping of the stores “a fundamental transformation.” The company will also increase sales of Apple products such as the iPad in its stores next year.
Their lines include Indigo Home, Indigo Tech, and Indigo Kids. Indigo Books and Music (also known as “!ndigo”), is often described as the country’s leading bookseller and has gone through other changes recently, with stores selling items such as toys and home goods in an effort to appeal to more consumers. She predicted that the expansion wouldn’t be happening for two years or so. She declined to elaborate on where new stores might open. Indigo CEO and founder Heather Reisman stated that “our intention is that the new Indigo will be a global company” during the annual meeting of the company, according to the Globe and Mail. Is Canada’s Indigo bookstore chain crossing the border? I tried to place the baby carriage.Then I had to turn and run. I imagined Eisenstein instructing the dozens of extras, the Cossack soldiers, the young mother.
I had to move fast.As I viewed the steps, I wondered about the history that had occurred there. And he had a friend.The next day, Sophia met us at the military checkpoint near her parents’ apartment inside the off-limits area. I bought an old yellowed postcard featuring the grand steps at a Sunday flea market instead.This trip I was determined things would be different.The steps are still off-limits, but Oleksandr Naselenko, who guides and supports Monitor reporters in Ukraine, had an idea: Residents living inside the restricted area couldn’t be prohibited from having visitors. For unexplained “security” reasons, the area near the site was closed. Last August, I’d tried, and failed, to reach the steps. But with an air raid siren wailing and a Ukrainian soldier ordering me back, I had less than 10 seconds to take it all in.My quest to see the steps had taken much longer than that.This was my second reporting trip to Odesa for the Monitor. In perhaps the most iconic moment, a mother pushing a baby carriage is shot, with her fallen body sending the carriage down the victim-strewn steps.Last week, I found myself at the top of the Potemkin steps. If the words “stairs” and “baby carriage” together leave you shuddering, you know what I’m talking about.In Soviet filmmaker Sergei Eisenstein’s 1925 silent film “Battleship Potemkin,” the 192 steps leading from the port are the setting for czarist Russia’s murderous repression of Odesans greeting the mutinous sailors of the film’s namesake ship. You don’t have to be a film connoisseur to know the Potemkin steps in the Black Sea port city of Odesa are the setting for one of cinema’s greatest scenes.
