Wondering which businesses will be open for the Very Merry Main street so I can visit each and every one?
Which business till exist..soon it will look like Village st lisbon
I love to see Main Street come to life again, like it used to be, when we had downtown department stores, and businesses, people shopping local.
Gina and Fern promote the Very Merry Main Street at council meetings, praise the committee after the event. But, I wonder, do they shop at the same stores that open for the event? and do give-away's? Businesses need customers year round to survive, or they may not be here for the Very Merry Main Street next year.
And no, I am not being negative, just practical.
SHOP AND SUPPORT LOCAL
Will the post office be open? Downeast Fuel and the eye doctor be open?This represents 50% of the businesses..
