6 JULY 29- AUGUST 4, 2015 WWW.UPANDCOMINGWEEKLY.COM #GetToKnow your Downtown Fayeeville shop and restaurant owners! There's always something new in Downtown Fayeeville. Whether it's a new drink at the coffee shop, a new find at your favorite boutique, or a new dish at your favorite restaurant, there's always something to do or something new to try! Did you know Downtown has a paint-your-own poery shop, packed to the brim with unique creations just waiting for you to put your own creative spin on and make your own? Greg's Art, Poery, & Gi„s offers both poery and gi„s as well as monthly art events such and canvas painting events. Owner Kelly Hathaway, who was born in Fayeeville, moved back to the area from the West coast, coming home to open her shop on Maxwell Street. Turning 11 years old this October, Greg's Poery has thrived on great customers who have visited, and continue to visit, her shop over the years. Kelly says she loves working Downtown and couldn't imagine working anywhere else. "I'm the luckiest girl alive," says Kelly, who loves being surrounded by the creative people who own the shops and restaurants Downtown. It's no secret Downtown has come a long way over the years thanks to revitalization efforts and thriving shops and restaurants lining the streets. Kelly says one of the challenges Downtown faces is the opinion some people still have of the area, noting some people avoid the area entirely. "A lot of people totally miss out on Downtown," notes Kelly, Kelly is as warm and inviting as her store, and she enjoys talking to each one of her customers, whether they're regulars or popping in for the first time. She uses this time to connect with her customers and spread the word about the other great shops and restaurants Downtown. She says Downtown can be a staycation, always providing something for people to do. Even Saturdays alone offer visitors and residents a day full of activities, from shopping local at the farmer's market, parking for free in the award- winning parking deck, or grabbing coffee or a glass of wine between shopping and eating. The possibilities are endless. Kelly just wants to get people to Downtown. Stay tuned to meet even more Downtown shop and restaurant owners! downtown FAYETTEVILLE MEET THE FACES OF DOWNTOWN.
