The Schwarzschild Jewelers store in Carytown is moving after 54 years. The location at 3124 W. Cary St., which opened Nov. 5, 1954, will move a few doors down to the spot last occupied by Carytown Wine & Beer at 3144 W. Cary. But it will remain in the Cary Court Shopping Center. Carytown Wine & Beer closed in February. The jeweler is tentatively scheduled to open the new store Dec. 11. The current store remains open.
