This quaint lil town now has a new quilt shop that is located on the corner. What a great find for Quilters! It’s within walking distance to a parking lot or park along the street. The corner it’s on, has 4 way stop signs vs any street lights so that’s a little challenging. This quilt shop is awesome as is Reny’s nearby and the Raggamuffins Thrift Shop. I noticed the Village Jeweler is no longer there and that’s disappointing. Several places to eat nearby! Shops have front sidewalks. It would be nice to see more shops here.
