I agree, I was so impressed the last time I went to the downtown area compared to the first time I was down there I couldn't wait to come back. I really appreciated the kind shop owners who stayed open a few minutes longer as I was running out of day on my adventure!! Awesome job on all that hard work. Decline was the state it was in before the revitilization efforts took over and totally gave it the feel almost like I had when I walked the streets of Seattle-
BTW, very jealous of your Handcocks visit. I love that store and can hardly wait to go next weekend. That store is like a quilters playground. I LOVE IT.
