| Next Commercial Club meeting: Tuesday, January 8, 2019 at 6:00 pm Upstairs, 299 East Commercial, at Robberson | There is no better way to ring in the New Year Uptown on Historic C-Street than by welcoming yet another exciting, eclectic new business. Ce Ce's Wench in the Gear just hung her brand new, hand cut metal sign and is our newest addition. We couldn't be more pleased that she chose C-Street to set up shop. Her Steampunk-inspired, handmade clothing, accessories and jewelry is all one-of-a-kind which makes it a perfect fit with Uptown's other artistic and inspiring storefronts. Drop in and welcome this wench to our neighborhood; celebrate the New Year with a purchase from a new neighbor! | Personalized Memorial Pavers will continue to be sold until we've reached our goal of $10,000 in profits for the Jefferson Avenue Footbridge project.
