Jolly Holiday Shopping

It's December 15th--yikes!  only 10 days left for you to complete your Christmas shopping!!

Do yourself a favor and don't subject yourself to traffic snarls, rude people at the shopping malls, and the same merchandise everywhere you look.  Avoid all that stress and treat yourself to an afternoon shopping trip in the Downtown Arts District.

Many of the shops and galleries have extended their open hours, especially on weekend days, and several are even open on Sundays in December.  The atmosphere is festive and pleasant, shop people are friendly and helpful, the selection of unique items is unmatched and fall into all price ranges--from very affordable to big-splurge. Whether you're looking to spend $5 or $50 or $500 for people on your gift list, you'll go home happy.

Be sure to check out our Facebook page where you'll find plenty of photos and info on sales, specials, extended hours, holiday menus at the restaurants, and more.  www.facebook.com/tradestreettracker
