Main Street Amherst is a non-profit organization designed to promote and maintain an economically vital historic downtown and business district that is attractive and accessible to people of all ages. In 1998, a small group of Amherst citizens and business owners founded a group called The Amherst Downtown Business Association. The purpose of this group was two-fold: the City of Amherst wanted to

apply for a Community Development Block Grant and needed a strong business group in place to obtain the grant. And at the same time, there were eleven empty storefronts in downtown Amherst. There was a growing concern that the downtown shopping area would be lost forever to strip malls and shopping malls if some action was not taken to restore economic security to the area. The City of Amherst was awarded the Community Development Block Grant and The Amherst Downtown Business Association evolved into The Amherst Downtown and Betterment Association, thus encompassing the entire community. Storefronts filled to capacity and business owners used the grant to restore facades and implement code improvements. The City used the grant funds to build a new parking lot and install historic streetlights and street signs in the downtown historic preservation district. A strong bond formed between the city government and the Amherst Downtown and Betterment Association. In December 2002, the Amherst Downtown and Betterment Association was granted official Main Street status by Downtown Ohio Inc. The name Main Street Amherst came into place after the official state-wide Main Street Designation. In October 2003, the old post office building was officially renamed and dedicated the Main Street Amherst Community Center.

Another one of my Favorites! ♥️
This beautifully painted slate can be placed in an easel or hung from its jute cord. The lil gnomes are a perfect addition to it too! Sometimes we just like to have things that make us smile. I also love that you can keep it out all year if you'd like. Bonus!

All flannels don't have to be dark. Check this one out! Not only are the colors happy but it has a coordinating hood too. Great as pictured to wear as a cardigan OR button it up to wear as the shirt it was intended to be.
