There's just something about Base that leaves you wondering. About a block away, you stop and think about what you forgot to look for. It's kind of like a living version of Wallpaper magazine. They carry the stuff that surrounds you. There isn't a lot of any one thing. European fashion, a few scented candles, some art books and maybe 20 or 30 CDs that you can sit at the music bar and listen to before you buy. Sometimes they have pillows, they usually have picture frames and a vase or two. I guess they carry whatever they ran into that was fashionable, funky, practical and unique.

Don't go to SoBe and miss Base.
