Our mission statement is the measure by which we determine our editorial content each month: sharing hyperlocal, positive content with you. So, it made perfect sense to take that a step further and build on what we began during the Thanksgiving and Christmas seasons: encouraging you to shop locally by giving you a map to follow. You’ll find that map on Pages 16-17.
After so many challenges in recent years, now is a perfect time to take advantage of this beautiful spring weather and visit our local retailers. They’ll be happy to see you, and you can leave with the satisfaction that you’ve been a part of contributing to the economic development of our amazing community.
Special thanks to Mayor Bill Grant, City Manager Billy Peppers and Downtown Development Manager Velinda Hardy for allowing us to share this map with you. We’ll do our best to keep it updated — not an easy task, with the way our city is growing! If you see something missing, or have any ideas for supporting our city, please let us know by emailing edit@aroundaboutmagazines.com. We’d love to hear from you.
Cotton mill exchange is fantastic. Love the owners and shopping is a pleasure!
