Our Downtown Community came out to show their support for weekend hours at local businesses Sunday by packing the new Starbucks on Market Street.

"The whole thing is to give Starbucks a reason to stay open on Sundays and attract other businesses," said Will Minster, director of Business Development for Downtown Visions.
