New Life
More signs of downtown renewal are popping up in New Albany, thanks in large part to risk-taking entrepreneurs and gracious donors.
Two new cafés are part of this reawakening, one already open for business and the second set to launch soon.
Theresa Dick and her identical twin sister, Lisa Fouts, opened their first restaurant, Main Street Cafe & Treats on Tuesday, in the location of the old Main Street Grind.
Twin sisters open cafe in downtown New Albany
Teresa Clancy, wife of Bistro New Albany’s co-owner Dave Clancy, is opening Treet’s Bakery Cafe at 135 Market St. The café is set to open as-close-as-possible to November 1st.
Bakery to face bistro on downtown block
Even though the old blood sugar is near borderline, I plan to check out the goods at both these new eateries. Too tempting!
Finally, the Padgett Museum, which documents Floyd County’s history, has opened at 509 W. Market St. The historical house in which the museum is located was graciously donated to the Floyd County Historical Society by Beverly and Jim Padgett. The Society has done a superb job setting up this new museum; it has a lot of potential and will be a terrific asset to our community. You need to check it out soon. We will be returning with our niece this weekend.
Floyd's past is on display
Best wishes to Theresa, Lisa and Teresa on their new ventures, and many thanks to Beverly and Jim for their donation to the Historical Society.
To think all this is being done while Scribner Place is still a ‘muddy’ dream ….
What was that comment about private capital investment?
Happy Harvest Homecoming!

Thank heavens your back, Blogtastic. We've been needing some leading.
The mud puddle will have the ribbon cutting the day before the general election. It is truly ashame that Mayor Garner did not allow the voters to give a yea or nay vote on it! But what did we really expect other than the fact they will make a nice "chunk of change" on the commission of the bonds. Get ready New Albany were all going to pay for all of his mistakes for years to come.
Personally, I don't believe that the Scribner Place plan is causing all of the people to invest in downtown.
Many people have wanted revitalization in our city for a long time. Scribner Place sounded like a good idea until we were hit with the prospect of having to pay 17 Million for the pool. Now many people are worried about their property tax being tied to this project.
Perhaps people are wanting to show that New Albany can be revitalized without Scribner Place and not just because of it.
I applaud all of these people who put for the time, money, and effort to help our downtown.
