The Old South Pearl Street retail empire of 5 Green Boxes has long had Westword‘s vote for best window displays, and now the shop — actually two stores on the same block — is upping the ante to ensure that we never change our minds.

Last spring, 5 Green Boxes put out a call to its customers and friends to create crafty owls out of Tom’s Shoes cardboard inserts and submit them for use in a whimsical window display. It was a huge success, as was the resulting arrangement.
Now, with visions of the harvest season and the coming holidays dancing before their eyes, the folks at 5 Green Boxes have come up with a new challenge. This time, the call is for something they call Jars of Thought: Specifically, jars of any size, shape, color or age into which a favorite thing has been placed. That, too, could be anything: something as fleeting as a word or as definitive as a photograph.

We’re aiming to raise $50,000 by December 31, so we can continue covering what matters most to this community. If Westword matters to you, please take action and contribute today, so when news happens, our reporters can be there.
Bring your jar — or as many jars as you like — to 5 Green Boxes through the end of September; they’ll be collected for a fabulous window to debut in November. It’s just one local retailer’s way of giving back to the community that supports it.
