You know, there’s a real power in working together. The Main Street neighbourhood was built by creative and involved individuals, all working together to make the type of place they wanted. Grassroots, passionate, independent and proud, the business owners and residents here interact the way small neighbourhoods might have many years ago.
Come to think of it, that’s how culture itself is created. The small efforts of many culminating to create something much, much bigger.
