THIS WEEK IN SEWICKLEY
|
These days, the message is that retail is DYING and there's no way that Main Streets can compete, blah blah.
And
during
#NationalSmallBusinessWeek
, we've gotta say... we are getting tired of this negative message. While it might be true that the Internet is a tough nut to crack, we know that the retail aspect of a downtown is still vital. While retail may not solely drive activity downtown, local shops would be absolutely missed if they weren't there.
Main streets are about shopping. And eating. And going to the dentist who knows you by name. And strolling through street festivals, grabbing coffee, running to the gym, hanging out on a bench in the sun enjoying an ice cream cone with your neighbors and friends. So thank you for supporting Sewickley and all of the efforts to keep this community wonderful... keep
#shoppingSewickley!
