Fair Trade store has a lovely selection of items and provided me with an opportunity to purchase gifts w/o the guilt of "spending" one so often feels. The coffe shop is nice as well, and I have heard the counseling and other services are getting off the ground as well. It does seem to me this is a win-win for all involved.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5583157134881112619.post-21049523222581232662008-10-14T09:52:00.000-05:002008-10-14T09:52:00.000-05:00I wish they would have opened this place somewhere...I wish they would have opened this place somewhere closer to the Bus terminal or the HALO center. That way all the Homeless folks wold wander over that way. Were trying to urge the homeless and the street urchins away from our Downtown.<BR/><BR/>But I'll be sending some of those folks over your way. <BR/><BR/>Please folks there are several businesses offering the same products in our community on a "for profit" basis. Ask your self should we replace YOUR job with a Volunteer?? Try paying your heat bill or mortgage with your "Volunteer" income..<BR/><BR/>I have nothing against the Dominicans, but I see a "free competitor" which could destroy or dilute the other businesses in the market. I think there are 6 Coffee shops Downtown already.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5583157134881112619.post-22111231778623499252008-10-05T17:39:00.000-05:002008-10-05T17:39:00.000-05:00I visited the store while attending Party on the P...I visited the store while attending Party on the Pavement. What a wonderful addition to Racine, and it has just opened. There are many lovely items just exactly right for Christmas gifts.Peggyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11655785613907829508noreply@blogger.com
