The Local Label

Every Friday, we trade our regular threads for a local label.

From boutiques and restaurants to service providers and specialty shops, we'll be sporting apparel from businesses located in the heart of Downtown Anniston.

It's our way of celebrating the entrepreneurs, business owners, and brands that help make downtown a vibrant place to shop, dine, work, and explore.

Because every logo has a story, and every Main Street business helps write the story of Downtown Anniston.

This week's Local Label is sponsored by Tyson's Model City Glass Co. & Graphics Studio, a downtown institution now celebrating 80 years in Downtown Anniston.

For eight decades, Tyson's has served generations of customers while adapting and growing alongside our community. Their longevity is a testament to the resilience, dedication, and entrepreneurial spirit that define Downtown Anniston.

Congratulations to Tyson's on this incredible milestone, and thank you for being part of our downtown story for 80 years and counting.

According to the program, businesses may be recognized at three levels: Best of Alabama, Regional Winner, and Honorable Mention. Each designation represents businesses that have earned strong public support and recognition within their respective industries.

This year, we are especially proud to congratulate Old Noble, Wigs Wheels, Top Notch Events & Rentals Inc., Rosa Lee Boutique, and Kress Mercantile for earning recognition among Alabama's best. Their commitment to excellence, customer service, and community investment helps make downtown Anniston a destination for residents and visitors alike.

Tonight, the City of Anniston officially recognized Fred Couch for his extraordinary contributions to preserving the history and architectural legacy of our community, as a recognition of National Historic Preservation Month (May).

After several conversations with Fred and after he personally shared the complete documentation of the 175 Anniston properties added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1990 — a nearly 3-inch-thick binder filled with photographs, records, and historical information — Karla Eden and Mainstreet Anniston requested that the City formally recognize his decades of dedication and preservation work.

Fred’s leadership and commitment helped protect the historic homes, buildings, and districts that continue to define Anniston’s identity today. His work, alongside the contributions of Ed Isom, Dr. Gaston McGinnis, George Monk, Ken Bice, and Tom Todt, ensured that an irreplaceable part of Anniston’s history would be preserved for future generations.

Historic preservation is about more than buildings — it is about protecting the stories, character, and legacy of a community.

Thank you, Fred Couch, for your passion, dedication, and unwavering commitment to preserving Anniston’s history. Your work created a legacy that will continue to impact our city for generations to come.
