He said plans call for the chamber to move into the arts facility at 124 S. Main St. in 60 days. Healing Arts was located at 124 W. Platt St. The business is owned by Dena Donatsch.

Devine said renovations have begun at the arts building to accommodate the chamber offices.
Devine said the chamber and arts group will remain separate entities but will be housed in one building.

Eating Outdoors @ Kwik Star

Kwik Star has a couple nice  4 way square tables to enjoy a snack and be out doors as well.  This was a few days ago. I had 99cent Pizza Slice.Very good too!

A great place to stop as I do when I walk my dog Kipp. Complimentary water for all customers too. Open 24 Hours is nice!

I hope some day Kwik Star will offer some kind of WiFi public access soon.

Thanks for reading my Blog post.
