We all enjoy change. Change takes effort. I enjoy our downtown businesses so much and how they have each other's backs, help one another when one is down, and continually lift one another with encouragement.
I enjoy seeing their creativity in making their business the one people want to enter, where it is more than customer service; it is friendships.
This week as I walked across the pedestrian crosswalk at 7th & Broadway Streets, this caught my eye. Is it a must-do? Does it take extra effort? Does it let you know that the business owner takes pride? Is it welcoming? Does it make us feel happy? All a big YES!

The little extras that a business does genuinely make the difference! I believe several places across Plainview do this very well. Because I volunteer downtown, I know that a good percentage of our business owners work it, love it, are kind, and appreciate their customers.
