Light at the end of the (construction) tunnel

We're happy to report that we can finally see the end of construction drawing near! Our mantra has been "it will be great when it's done" - and it already is. This photo, taken back in March, gave us cause for pause - will it EVER be finished? Somehow when you have mounds of dirt in front of your building (yes, it beats the peat), you're not so sure. But driveways have been poured, a cut to the highway has been added, and the sidewalk to our doorstep is now in place. We've recently been rewarded with the sighting of people now using the newly paved sidewalks to walk, run, push strollers, walk dogs, ride bikes, and roller blade along Illinois Road, safely enjoying the summer.

For those of you who made the extra effort to get to us this past December for your holiday gift-giving, we so appreciated your efforts and your business!

Watch for details of our re-opening plans and events after construction is complete later this summer.
