Shaw Main Streets Lower 9th Street Open House -- Tonight

Long View Gallery, 9th Street NW.

I am always impressed with the energy and ideas expressed by Alex Padro, director, and the Shaw Main Streets program. (I talk about co-authoring a book for the Main Street program, The Ultimate Guide to Retail Business Promotion. Clearly he needs to be one of the co-authors.)

Anyway....

On Thursday, June 29, 2006, 6:00-9:00 PM, pick up your Shaw Main Streets Night passport at either TG Cigars, 1118 9th Street, NW, or the Ninth Street Gallery, 1306 9th Street, NW, and join the fun as businesses on the 1100 through 1300 blocks of 9th Street open their doors for this first ever SMS Night Open House. Be sure to get your passport stamped at each of the participating businesses in order to be eligible for a drawing for a prize from each business.

Participating businesses will include (final listing on the event passport):

Ninth Street Gallery, 1306 9th Street, NW
Long View Gallery, 1302 9th Street, NW
Wagtime Pet Spa and Boutique, 1232 9th Street, NW
