Venice NEED FAVOR

We are from the Detroit, Michigan area, specifically, Oak Park. We were in your Venice in June. We bought a glass Venetian Menorah at David's Shop in the Ghetto area of Venice. My wife fell in love with a certain Menorah.

A month ago the Menorah fell over and broke in 3 pieces. We just loved it and are saddened that we do not have it as a show piece for our breakfront.

If anyone is going to Venice in the near future could you get me the phone number. The only contact info on the web is an email address and we have had no response to our contact.

Thank you so much for your consideration.

Rosedr - Venice Yellow Pages lists two phone numbers:

tel: 041 716278

David'S Shop
30121 Venezia (VE) - 2895, CANNAREGIO
tel: 041 2750418

Hope this helps ...

I was just in the Ghetto on October 28th. Had you posted a little sooner I would have brought one back and mailed it to you.
Those addresses look correct. I bought a few things in David's shop . Great little store.

I am going to Venice in three weeks. I will be more than happy to assist with bringing one back perhaps? I will be returning well before Hanukkah. Write to me off-list with specifics, or a picture.

Okay, scratch that comment about returning before Hanukkah. I just looked at the calendar- oops!

But I am still willing to assist in any way needed.

Don, I handed off your message and the menorah photos to David a little more than one week ago. He told me he was writing you directly. Did he respond to you?

Good luck!

I'm sure I am not the only one that would like to know if this story has a happy ending.

MikeBukley, I was thinking the very same thing. Do hope you post the end results rosedr. And best wishes that your Menorah is replaced.

I just clicked on the original poster's name, and he/she is a very infrequent poster, and hasn't posted anything else since this topic started in November.
So we may not find out what happened.

I emailed "rosedr" directly, but haven't heard back. If I do, I will let you all know...

I imagine this secret society of people known as Fodorites who go about the world, doing kind favors for travelers
I will be waiting along with everyone else to see what happens ~
