The Mosaic Project is becoming more than interviews.
In some small way, I am trying to contribute to the story Springfield tells about itself : the people who are here, the spaces being created, and the kind of community we are becoming together.
This week’s conversation with Bloom Wine Bar & Florals reminded me that Springfield is full of young entrepreneurs creating spaces of beauty, belonging, conversation, and community in the heart of downtown.
These are the stories worth amplifying.
Huge thanks to Bloom for sharing their vision, and to 1221 Photography for helping capture the spirit of the space through some incredible photos.
Take a look through the gallery, support local, and keep believing that good things are still growing in Springfield. 🌿🍷
Look for the conversation on the Illinois Times soon. Also, let's take a moment to recognize and appreciate they are wearing My Heart's Downtown's downtown apparel! Way to go!
