Williamsburg’s KCDC skate shop got a smooth write up in the New York Times last Thursday (September 22, 2011) and we missed it. Owner Amy Gunther did it well.
If KCDC’s name is cryptic (Ms. Gunther wouldn’t say what it means), its philosophy is simple: Nurture the skateboarding community, and it will nurture you, a symbiotic relationship that has flourished since the store opened in 2001, when Williamsburg was not as hip, or as safe. . . “We’ve grown organically,” Ms. Gunther, 37, said. “Skaters who used to come here as kids 10 years ago come back as adults today.”
In the words of LA Reid: Amy Gunther is the truth.
