Shop Small

Shop Small; Shop C-Street!

With Thanksgiving right around the corner, Small Business Saturday promises to be a great day to invite all our fans to shop Historic C-Street! All you C-Street merchants who want to take advantage of the "Shop Small Toolkit," just click here to browse tips and download templates for all your digital platforms. The rest of you C-Street supporters, call your friends and schedule that lunch and shopping you've been trying to squeeze in! Park in one of our 4 public parking lots if you plan to be Uptown for more than 2 hours...it's a very popular destination!

Christmas Ad 18
Midtown Cleanup

Clear the Clutter!

Midtown Neighborhood Association's Fall Cleanup is this Saturday, the 17th from 8am to noon. Haul off those bulky items you've been meaning to get rid of over to Cox North parking lot where volunteers from the Midtown Neighborhood Association will take them off your hands.

Wreath Hanging

Your CID, Making Holidays Bright!

Deena and her crew from Gardens 2 Envy, took time from working on our beautiful landscaping to brighten the street by hanging our holiday wreaths and wrapping poles with peppermint striping. They've also stocked up on this season's snow melt which they will use in advance of nasty, slippery weather. Lyle Foster, CID Vice President, will have a small stockpile of snow melt at Big Momma's for any of our businesses who would like a small bucketful for their doorways...just bring your own bucket. And, on another great CID note, all 4 of the Cardboard Recycling Dumpsters are now in place, freshly painted and labeled with our logo. They are at the head of Campbell, behind Drury on C-Street at Robberson, at the head of Benton by Eurasia Coffee & Tea and just west of the public parking lot behind Van Gogh's & Sisters in Thyme so feel free to use any or all of them, courtesy of our Community Improvement District. They look like this:

The CID board of directors meets once a month at a public meeting to discuss how these funds are spend and currently there is a vacant seat on this board.

The eligibility requirement on this seat is that you own a business in the CID district, but not also own property in the district.
