I am a homeowner and I do own a business (not on Front Street). Last year the sidewalk in front of my store had to be redone. Why it takes them so long to replace a short stretch of a sidewalk I have no idea, but the front of our business was a mess for almost 3 weeks. Initially, the only sign I had up that would let you know was a small flip sign on the door. After two days of the construction I decided to go to SAM'S and get one of those lighted OPEN signs. It made a huge difference.
