two new businesses come downtown

Curtis Marketing & g3 richmond church now open Center City would like to welcome our new neighbors, Curtis Marketing Consultants and G3 Richmond Church, to Downtown Richmond! You can find them both at 8 South 8th Street (The Oddfellows Building, where the Whitney Center used to be). The G3 Church “considered naming the church “The Most Holy Greater Richmond Area Community Church For People Who Don’t Like Church But Are Still Interested In Or At Least Curious About God Church”, but they couldn’t fit it on a business card. So we landed on a name that makes sense and is easy to remember, G3.” You can contact them at: The G3 Church By Phone: 765-259-0641 Through E-mail: info@theg3church.com Snail Mail: P.O. Box 1341 Richmond, Indiana 47375 www.theg3church.com

snow & ice

urban fairy doors expand to richmond

Center City Development Corporation would like to remind businesses that they should remove the snow and clear off the sidewalk areas in front of their stores by 10am during such weather events.

The Joseph Moore Museum and the Wayne County Tourism Bureau are trying out a very tiny project: Urban Fairy Doors. Inspired by the Urban Fairy Doors in Ann Harbor, Michigan, this tiny adventure will “expand its doors” to Richmond.

build your urban fairy door and be part of the hunt

please shovel walks

Businesses who choose to “install” an Urban Fairy Door will eventually end up on promotional material at the visitor’s center: yet another chance to market your business in a unique way and get more customers in your day.

Center City, local businesses, and the visitors of Downtown Richmond thank you!

farmers market

If your business has been thinking about putting in a fairy door for the Urban Fairies Exhibit, there are several ways to start getting creative. A Google or Pinterest search for “urban fairy doors” will land you with a slew of creative ideas. If you don’t feel like making everything from scratch, Hobby Lobby & Veach’s Toy Station just might have the pre-assembled pieces that you need to get started.
