As a small business owner, my vote cast itself last Thursday night at the Niles mayoral debate.
With restaurants, boutique shops, coffee houses, pubs and my business, a record store, Niles offers so many amazing local businesses and Nick will spotlight our unique qualities.
Niles needs to invite more to experience what makes us an incredible destination. Like any small city, local flair is a unique strength. Local business owners meet and greet you at the door. We appreciate you. To me it is the William Supply (Lumber) versus the giants that I believe people crave and miss.
It is the niche businesses that bring people to our community and ultimately keep them coming back.
Nick Shelton shares that vision and did not spin one word over where he stands on that position.
My vote is for Niles. Nick Shelton offers a fresh perspective and I believe he will work hard to expand, grow and encourage valid community growth.
