A Move and an Addition

Next up we have a move along with a new addition.  Four Corners Frame Shop is moving from University Street around the corner to Broadway Street and will be joined by Aus10 Photography.

(Thanks to Christina's facebook page for the picture.)

These two businesses will be located in the building that used to house Inner City Salon.  Opening day is scheduled for September 17th.

I'll see you Downtown!

PS: Remember to head to the Farmer's Market this morning!

Vintage Accents

We'll kick-off The Week of New Construction with a brand new business coming soon to Downtown Siloam Springs.

(Thanks to Meredith at Main Street Siloam Springs for the picture.)

Vintage Accents is "opening in a space that was previously vacant.  The building used to be home to the law office of our Siloam Springs Judge Steven Thomas. It had beads in the window and lots of neat plants and trees. To the left in this photo is an alleyway, then the Main Street office, to the right is John T. Lee's office."

I'm super excited about this new store.  What's not to love about a place that has "antiques and architectural salvage" printed on the window?

I'll see you Downtown!

Under Construction

My family and I have been out-of-town on vacation.

We returned surprised to find lots of Downtown construction happening.

It's exciting!

So exciting, in fact, that I hereby declare this the Week of New Construction!

(Sheesh!  :-)  Declarations make me feel powerful!)

We'll start with the Word on Main Street Blog.

Please take a few minutes to click on the tabs just above this post.  There's all kinds of new and updated information to be found.

And then stay tuned...

...for more posts on all things Under Construction.

Dog Days of Summer Recap

My family really enjoyed the Dog Days of Summer event earlier this month.

Siloam Springs' canines headed Downtown with their owners for a morning of fun!

We liked the parade best of all!

But the rescue dog demonstration was a close second.

Have you ever seen a dog climb up and down a ladder?  Me neither.  And, yes, I was impressed!

Make plans to attend next year's event.  It's always the first Saturday in August.

I'll see you Downtown!

New Bikes

With the weather being a bit cooler, it's the perfect time to check out Dogwood Junction's latest additions.

You can now rent a Terra Tandum Trike and spend an evening biking through our fun Downtown.

Dogwood Junction has a fridge full of cool drinks, so head on down and take a ride!

I'll see you Downtown!

Races to Run

Are you a runner?  I can't decide if I am one or not.  :-)  

Anyway, for the first time ever, this fall Siloam Springs will be a location where you can participate in a half marathon event!  There are a ton of runners in town, and my guess is this will be a fun event.

One Heart for Justice is sponsoring the event.  More information on the organization and race details can be found here.

The races (5K and half marathon) begin and end Downtown.  There's only one thing left for you to decide...  Will you be running or will you be standing on the sidelines cheering on friends?

I'll see you Downtown!

Hot Days

It's been a hot summer. 

The other day I heard it just might be the hottest on record.

I hope things are starting to cool down.

 In the meantime, Books on Broadway has great air conditioning.  :-)

It's one of our favorite places to spend a hot end-of-summer afternoon.

I'll see you Downtown!
