  • It is indeed embarrassing – as is most of M St. This town has so much potential, but eyesores like this just legitimize its reputation. Sigh….

    • I think there’s a measure of pride that should be taken in one’s business. I think that posting a mish-mash of signs on the storefront is a misguided attempt at marketing that doesn’t really serve to attract anyone. I would think opening up the windows and being more concerned about the appearance of the building would attract more business… which is what they’re trying to do.

      There’s a lot to be said for “Curb appeal”, just ask any real estate agent.

  • It doesn’t really help that drug addicts and homeless people hang out near that store either. That’s the real problem.
