December is decorating time everywhere, including Downtown.
Just about everybody has brought out the trees and ornaments, garlands and lights and we’ll be showing some of the neighborhood’s displays this week in Downtown Today.
Chamblin’s Uptown along Laura Street near Hemming Plaza has set up a decorated tree on a counter in front of the store that is a little different than the others found in lobbies and businesses.
Children who visit the store accompanied by their parents can take home an ornament from the tree if they see one they like. The selection changes daily as the ornaments are replaced.
“I guess it’s just another thing that makes so many people want to shop at independent book stores rather than the corporate stores,” said Jennifer O’Donnell, manager.
