Brown paper just went up on Chestnut Mandolins windows. I hope we can keep a music store downtown.

Downtown Conway SC is on the Move.

It's been a while since I last checked in and during that time a lot has been going on in Downtown Conway, SC.  Chestnut Mandolins owner, Jennings Chestnut passed away shortly after being diagnosed with cancer.  Mr. Chestnut was an active member of the downtown business community and will be missed deeply by all those who knew him.  For more about Jennings follow these links:

Chestnut Mandolins….and Banjo and  Jennings Chestnut

As the sign on the door says, Chestnut Mandolins is now closed after it's "Final Day" Saturday.

Who's Moving?

Signature Salon has moved from the corner of 4th and Laurel to 3rd Ave across from the Rivertown Bistro.  The new location looks great and I'm happy they've decided to stay downtown.

Rumors, Ramblings, and Otherwise Untrustworthy Information Regarding Conway, SC. 01/11/10

Economy

As we close the fourth quarter, we find Downtown Conway continuing to wrestle with the recession.  Like swimming in peanut butter, it takes a  determined effort to make even the smallest amount of progress.  Last year's sales were dismal and as this year ends most businesses find themselves in the same spot that they were in last December.  There are no great financial success stories, but there are a few businesses that have posted slightly improved numbers.

Local churches, Conway Main Street USA, and City of Conway are all the talk in Downtown Conway South Carolina this month.  The pace and complexity of the issues would require a room full of lawyers, hours of debate, and action from City Council to resolve.  Indications are that we will see all of the above in the coming months.

More Rumors, Ramblings, and Otherwise Untrustworthy Information Regarding Downtown Conway 8-29-09

Downtown Conway SC merchants are happy to see September arrive.  July and August were tough months for most of our businesses.  During the mid-summer Myrtle Beach tourism is dominated by young families with little children who spend the majority of their time at the beach and it's numerous attractions.  As those folks return home they are replaced by a different demographic who see Conway SC in a more desirable light.  This new wave of tourism brings with it a much needed boost to our historic downtown district.  Of course it doesn't hurt that the Christmas season is now within striking distance.
