Of course, now I've started something - Rick and I have been so fortunate to have support for the First Street Community Center! Here are pictures/names of some of the small shops in FSCC. I would love a picture of Blooming Acres Flowers, Helios, Kindred Spirits and the Art Gallery! Thank you! And I apologize and welcome comment and corrections if my memory is wrong. Of course, FSCC includes the MVLCT, many concerts and much more! Please send me any pictures you may have! Do you have a favorite good memory of FSCC?
