Comment on Why Main Street? by shopnacfirst

Great video!
The “Main Street” concept extends beyond the street literally labeled Main Street. Nacogdoches is fortunate to have Sarah O’Brien’s talented leadership in our local program.
Hats off to the National Trust for Historic Preservation, Texas Historical Commission and the City of Nacogdoches for their work in not only preserving historic sites, but getting involved in grassroots economic development by nurturing businesses to be active users of those sites.
“Shop Nac First” extends the ‘buy local’ concept even further – including stores and restaurants of downtown Nacogdoches plus small (and not-so-small) retailers and service providers scattered across the county.
“Shop Nac First” means give your neighbor’s business a chance to earn your dollars first.
And especially allow our ‘one-of-a-kind’ local businesses the opportunity to serve you.

Comment on A new Shop Nac First video! by Ultimate Collector

Thanks for the mention. I hope collectors like me will visit the Wildflower. We’ve got a rare bottle of L’air du Temp perfume in a Lalique bottle, two meerschaum pipes, a crystal Waterford clock and a sterling silver James Avery bracelet in a pattern that is now retired. There’s a wide variety of costume jewelry too.
You should see the clever things the artisans in the shop make! Downtown Nacogdoches is really becoming known for the wonderful little shops on the brick streets.
The Wildflower is at 406 Main, open Tuesday through Saturday 10-5.

Everyone should take a look at the creative Valentine window displays in downtown Nacogdoches.
Several on Main street and around the square. We stopped in the Wildflower and saw some unique valentine baskets that include chocolate, antique china and other clever ideas. One even had fishing lures (must be a way to snag that special guy!)
Also saw some cute hand-made valentine cards. Great shop!

Comment on Welcome to 3/50 Friday… by shopnacfirst

Good stuff! Here’s more info on the 3/50 Project.
http://www.the350project.net/home.html
In a nutshell, pick three local businesses this month that you’d miss if they weren’t there. Spend $50 total in those stores. There! You’ve helped inject an estimated $40 billion into local stores. Local stores return $68 of every $100 back to their local economies.
Think globally.
Shop locally!

I would like to do my part to help downtown and all of nacogdoches in the shop nac first.
Please let me know if I can join or be a part of shop mac first. It’s hard to get across to customers that shopping local benefits everyone and keeps the money here where it’s needed.
I’ve asked most of our customers and the told me they would really like doing business with a family owned company, one that really cares.

Thanks so much Kevin & Charlyn Horchem
