Sadly, in July we said goodbye to a longtime member of the downtown community. Main Street Jewelery closed it’s doors after many years of business. They will be missed. I always appreciated their attention to detail and their pesonable service.
On other fronts, as we look forward to the end of the summer we are seeing other changes downtown. Ms. Green Jeans, a women’s consignment/resale boutique, has relocated to the downtown after starting up their business in the plaza adjacent to Dollar General. Edward Jones scooted up the street a few slots to the old Stolen Heart location. Finally, Big Sweeties, a pet store and dog groomer, formerly located in the strip mall by Radio Shack has moved into the historic bank building on the 100 block of West Main.
This migration to the downtown area is a good sign that we have a healthy and vibrant downtown. I would urge everyone to do their best to frequent not only the downtown retailers, but all local retailers. Support our local economy whenever possible.
