Helene may have destroyed many businesses on Locust Street (Lower Street) in Spruce Pine, but four of them have moved into the former Market on Oak Building on Oak Avenue (Upper Street) and reopened to serve customers. On this program, we talk with Cheryl Buchanan of Treasures in the Pines, Kimberly Wise and Stephanie Medford of Spruce Pine Florist, Ginger Letterman with Haircraft, and Lisi Thomas with Treehouse Realty tell their stories from the storm and how they are working to bring life back to downtown Spruce Pine. We remind you to shop local with all our Mitchell County merchants this Christmas!
