Reviving Broadway Efforts underway to give downtown Monett a facelift

BY MELONIE ROBERTS reporter@monett-times.com

Efforts are underway to have Monett’s Broadway designated as a historical district with the Missouri Historical Advisory Council.

According to Jeff Meredith, president of Monett Main Street, local groups are making efforts to have sheet metal removed from the building façades to reveal the underlying historic architecture.

“Monett Main Street has a grant program of up to $1,500 to help business owners improve their façades,” Meredith said. “Part of our goal is to make Broadway vital.”

Several business owners have taken advantage of the program, Meredith said, and the organization hopes others will follow suit.

“By getting the sheet metal off those building fronts, we have a much better chance at qualifying as a histori-

cal district,” Meredith continued. “Any business owner wanting to renovate to historical standards could qualify for 40 to 45 percent tax credits. I know I would rather pay 60 cents on the dollar for renovations, and I think that is the motivation for attracting new business opportunities to Broadway.”

Meredith said those federal and state funds get cut every year, but it would still be a beneficial move for someone looking to relocate within the next year or so.

“There is a lot of red tape,” Meredith said, “but anyone should expect that.”

To revitalize foot traffic, Meredith said Monett Main Street members were also having discussions about hosting a fall festival, possibly in August, along with other special promotions.

Broadway Nights, a merchant-driven effort to promote later shopping hours and entertainment for the public, CONTINUED ON PAGE 6

Members of Monett Main Street are working with the Missouri Historical Preservation Society to have Broadway named a historic district. Business owners along Broadway may receive tax credits for renovating their buildings to historical standards. Melonie Roberts/reporter@monett-times.com

Broadway: Efforts underway to give downtown Monett a facelift CONTINUED FROM PAGE 3

started having monthly events.

Eventually, those moved to quarterly, then ended completely.

“People were used to having them monthly,” Meredith said. “When they shifted to quarterly events, the movement lost momentum.”

“I loved Broadway Nights,” said Linda Sitton, owner of Peppers and Co. “I wish we merchants could get together and do Broadway Nights or something similar.

“We really need another downtown restaurant,” she said. “Honestly, my business has picked up since Mocha Jo’s came in.”

Mocha Jo’s, owned by Bob and Debbie Berger, is a renovated a two-story turnof-the-century building that houses a coffee café. The upper level is for the teen activity center, The Den. To promote downtown business and fill some of the empty storefronts along the avenue, Meredith said, one of the MMS committees was looking to prepare mock business plans to see what type of business would be successful in the downtown district.

“Everything someone could want is right here in Monett.”

JEFF MEREDITH

Monett Main Street President

“I’d love to see some office space down here,” he said. “That would mean more foot traffic, more people stopping in to grab a cup of coffee or lunch, more shopping. More office space equals more foot traffic.

“If someone has a plan and is qualified to get money from the Community Development Corporation, the more possibilities we can provide the more likely someone will take advantage of that.”

The CDC is combined of three shareholders — Community National Bank, First State Bank and Monett Industrial Development Center — and provides loans to qualified applicants “for almost anything having to do with a downtown business,” Meredith said.

“Monett has several viable businesses,” Sitton said. “I can think of at least three Missouri communities where the downtown businesses are just gone.

Monett is lucky that we’ve kept the stores we’ve got.

“We need a shoe store on Broadway.

I’m thinking that I can expand my shoe selection in the back of the store. The key is offering what people want to buy.

But Broadway is getting there. I believe that.”

“Area residents don’t have to go to Joplin or Springfield,” Meredith said.

“Everything someone could want is right here in Monett. If merchants doesn’t have it in stock, they are happy to order it for you. People save gas, and the product is usually less expensive here than it is in a larger city. Food, clothing, and craft supplies, it’s all here in Monett.”

Meredith said if people who are not sure where to locate a particular item should call the Monett Chamber of Commerce Office at 235-7919.

“We’ll be happy to help,” Meredith said.

Jeff Meredith, president of Monett Main Street, points out an upstairs façade on Broadway. Meredith said business owners wanting to renovate to historical standards could qualify tax credits of up to 45 percent. Jacob Brower/jbrower@monett-times.com

Pregnant mom wants another princess, not a little frog

DEAR ABBY: I’m a single mother of a beautiful 2-year-old daughter.

I have always pictured myself as a mom of four little princesses. When I fantasized about having children, I imagined fairy tales, ballet, cheerleading, dress-up, tea parties—all girl things.

Now I’m expecting a little boy and I feel heartbroken. When I learned my first was a girl, I couldn’t wait to meet her. I bought her everything pink and frilly. Here I am eight weeks from my due date, and I have yet to buy this baby a single thing.

When I look at baby boy items, I become severely depressed.

I’m no longer with the baby’s father. He and his family are very excited about the baby, as he will be the only male grandchild for this generation. The truth is, the more I think about it, the more I am pulled in the direction of signing over my parental rights to my ex. At least he really wants him, whereas I don’t.

I know this sounds terrible and selfish. I feel like a monster, but I can’t help it. My family is totally against it.

My dad says I shouldn’t even allow my ex to visit our son in the hospital after he’s born. No one will listen to how I feel. They keep saying my feelings will change after the baby is born, but I doubt it. I just need some guidance.— UNDESERVING TITLE OF MOMMY

Dear Abby

BY JEANNE PHILLIPS

DEAR MOMMY: I don’t think you are a monster. I DO think you are not thinking objectively right now.

Let me point out that life doesn’t always go the way we fantasize.

Because you imagined that you’d be the mother of four little princesses doesn’t guarantee that you WILL be.

I see no need to rush into signing any papers right now, regardless of how eager your boyfriend and his parents are about the baby.

There will be time for that later, if you still want to. For now, ask your parents to help you select some baby boy outfits, and tell your doctor about all of your feelings because they may be hormonal.

You might benefit from some professional counseling right now— more than I can offer you—and I urge you to get it before doing anything you might later regret.

DEAR ABBY: I received a restaurant gift card from some friends. When I presented it at a restaurant, it was refused as “never having been activated through purchase.”

I called my friends to let them know, thinking it was a mistake on the part of the restaurant at the time it was purchased.

They said they would come by and pick up the card. I have heard nothing from them since, and I haven’t written a thank-you note or made any further attempt to contact them.

Was I right in calling them? Do I now ignore the whole thing?—GIFT CARD DENIED DEAR G.C.D.: You did nothing wrong in calling your friends to tell them what happened. They may not have picked

it up because they were embarrassed, or because they really never intended to activate it.

I don’t think it’s necessarily worth ending a relationship over—IF you want to continue a friendship with people whose credibility you question.

Public Notice advertising plays a unique role both in American history and in the process by which this country’s democracy is preserved.

Its one premise is that people must be informed if they are to govern themselves competently. Public Notice advertising first came into being with the Congress of 1792. That body, recognizing its responsibility to the people, required the Postmaster General to advertise for bids for the construction of new post offices.

From that inauspicious beginning to the publication requirements in federal, state and local laws today, government officials have come more and more to understand their obligations to inform the public through Public Notice advertising. Newspapers over the years have been the vehicle by which these obligations have been fulfilled. They will continue to be as long as the public demands that it be informed frequently and by the best means possible.
