Then and Now

A little journey from the past to our present . . .

Would you say we've come a long way?

That was then . . . November, 2003.

An eyesore that sat on West Main Street

This is now  . . .  September, 2017.

A beautifully restored gem that sits on West Main Street and welcomes all to the Uptown Business District.

The lush gardens provide fresh vegetables and flowers to the soup kitchen and food pantry and to the local assisted living center.
