Skylight Coworking Hosting Grand Opening Celebration This Friday

A couple of weeks ago we introduced to you Skylight Coworking, the new collaborative office environment located at 214 Bridge Street. While they have been open for the past few weeks, tomorrow will be their official Grand Opening. Beginning at 2pm, the celebration will give you the chance to speak with founder Shannon Coghlan Reiss about the advantages of coworking and how you can benefit from this up-and-coming professional movement. You will also get to enjoy the paintings of Elisabeth Olver, Skylight's resident artist, whose original renderings will be in constant rotation on their walls to encourage creativity, entrepreneurialism, and accomplishment. The ribbon cutting ceremony will be at 2:14 and light snacks and beverages will be available.

Several Local Businesses Closing Up Shop

Over the next couple of months, three local businesses will be closing their doors. On Saturday, February 16th, Polka Dots will be closing their store at 246 Bridge Street.

I knew that was not correct either. Marietu' Fanny from the crepe joint at Bridge and Gay called me and was upset that she heard someone at the business association meeting say she was closing... She went on to tell me that they were doing well... Then I heard probably the most outrageous rumor of all... Ellie's Choice is closing. Now think about this one, folks. Here, Ellie has been here for a long time, she was here ...
