"The Shop Next Door" is the newest member of our district! An innovative new store opened by the owners of Brewed Awakenings, the shop is an “artisan collective,” which will feature handmade items made by local artisans along with quality vintage and repurposed clothes. A dedicated space for creativity is also available in order to host classes, featured artists, etc. For more information, visit: http://www.nextdoorcr.com/.
