    I just love your success story.
    I moved to Grandview in 1977 at the ripe age of 17. Just out of high school and working downtown at the Borden Building.
    I lived at 3rd and Broadview in an old apt building. Rode the bus to work, no car. I had nothing to speak of. My life has gone in many different directions since then, but all in all, it has been quite a journey.
    I am 51 now, live in Sunbury, just moved here. I am about to open my first shop for women’s consignment here on the Square. I will be up on the second floor over an ice cream shoppe.
    I found you through NARTS, which I found on your former shops website.
    I hope this is a good life choice for me. It feels good.
    I love this little town and hope to make a difference here.
    From one Katie to another, nice to meet you.

      Hi Katie,
