Discover CityViewNC.com's fresh updated look! | 19 K ellie Clelland has deeper roots in downtown Fayetteville than the welcoming shade trees that line Hay Street. So when she moved her women's clothing shop from Haymount to Hay Street last July, it was like coming home – especially because she moved with it. She and her two children, Tamer and Holden, now live in a charming apartment above Top of the Hill Boutique with its friendly bright-aqua scalloped awning at 118 Hay Street. "My childhood was spent on Hay Street, so why not move here?" Kellie said, as she recounted her earliest memories of downtown Fayetteville. Her grandmother, Ozeda Clelland, was a pharmacist who worked at Horne's Drug Store, MacKethan's Pharmacy and Highsmith Hospital, all in and around downtown Fayetteville, before she founded Bordeaux Drug Company with Kellie's grandfather, Alec, who had worked at Fayetteville Drug on Gillespie Street. Kellie's Uncle Wally worked downtown, too, before opening Hinkamp Jewelers in McPherson Square. She began her business on Fort Bragg Road, naming the shop for its location at the top of Haymount Hill. en, in April 2016, a neighboring business – the iconic Haymont Grill & Steak House – was gutted by fire. Top of the Hill wasn't damaged – at least, not physically. But "people thought we were closed, too," Kellie said. "We hardly had any business." She knew she had to take a leap of faith. Driving along Hay Street one rainy day, she spotted a vacant building that looked like a good place to relocate the boutique. She le a phone message for the property manager who didn't bother to call back by phone. Instead, John Malzone called on her in person.
