15th Anniversary of 9/11 And What It Means To The USA

by Leave a Comment

15th Anniversary of 9-11, New York as we see it todayIt’s hard to believe that it’s been 15 years since that horrific Tuesday in 2001. So much has happened and so much has changed in our Country because of this attack.

I remember sitting at the table eating breakfast. I had just taken my son to elementary school. I was shocked and scared and wanted to go right away to his school to pick him up. It was such a sad day. Many people United Together to help each other get through the stunned time. I made a point to become closer to my family and my friends.

As we come up on the 15th Anniversary, please remember the men, women and children who continuously deal with the loss of their loved ones.

And Never, Ever Forget!

My husband and I vacationed in NYC a couple of weeks ago, and no matter what angle I shot of the Freedom Tower, they were all just stunning!

Jasper Merchants Association And The Traffic Study Meeting

by Leave a Comment

We Are Asking Every Single One Of Our Jasper Merchants Association Members To Attend This Upcoming Community Meeting Regarding The Traffic Enhancement Study PresentationWe Are Asking Every Single One Of Our Jasper Merchants Association Members To Attend This Upcoming Community Meeting Regarding The Traffic Enhancement Study Presentation!!!

Per Paul Poore

As a Jasper Merchants Association member, you need to be aware of the changes and improvements that this Traffic Enhancement Study is proposing to the Mayor of Jasper and to all property owners, business owners, and home owners alike of what and how this will effect you and all of your customers.
Some parts of this plan can be seen as much needed improvements to help with the stigma that Jasper has as a town that rolls up the welcome mat and turns off the lights at 6pm on Friday night and keeps them closed to 8am Monday morning. Other parts of this plan will infringe on or hinder some businesses and property owners as well as any home owner that is within the Downtown District. These plans not only discuss what and how to improve or modify the flow of traffic on N. Main Street, S. Main Street, E. & W. Church Street, and Spring Street but also the areas around Mark Whitfield, Stegall, D. B. Carrol, Chambers, E. & W. Street, Pioneer, Wall Street, and Richards Street.
The people of Jasper that live, work and play in the Downtown District need to attend this meeting and listen closely to the plans that are being made to change Jasper. Some are very much needed to improve the needs of customers to those businesses already located in this area of discussion. Other parts of the plan to some would seem to be focused more on benefiting others in the area than the overall desired concept of making Jasper a place that is welcoming to all types of commerce.
PLEASE ADD THIS DATE ON YOUR CALENDAR AND ATTEND THIS MEETING, MAKE YOUR VOICES HEARD. JASPER CITY HALL – 4:00PM – MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 12, 2016

Per the Pickens County Chamber Of Commerce –

Make Sure Your Voice Is Heard!
Business owners and property owners are strongly encouraged to attend.  Make your voice heard at the Traffic Enhancement Study Presentation by Kimley-Horn on September 12, 2016, from 4:00-6:00 pm, prior to the City of Jasper’s City Council Meeting.
