Our Changing Community Episode #6 Interview with...
We continue our March episode interviewing Terri, owner of Hair Snips. Terri’s shop struggles with parking issues, specifically a lack of handicapped spaces and lax enforcement of a city ordinance which limits Main Street parking to 90 minutes. (Note: After continued failed efforts to get assistance from City Hall, these parking problems are finally being addressed after Terri presented her concerns in a public forum. The squeaky wheel often does get the grease.)
