Beloved Osborne Village spot Rooster has gained some room to spread it ' s wings. Unique and elegant shoes, socks, and accessories now fill the bright storefront recently vacated by Sew Dandee. The space, next to Rooster ' s sister store, Silver Lotus, is well furnished with light wood and eye-catching displays, and roomy enough for those trying on to strut their stuff. 105 Osborne St, 204‐219‐7008.— JK
