Website Appreciation - December 07
Hi, I was walking on Central Ave. the other day, and I noticed the pretty sowflake lights. I think they are very beautiful and bring a holiday charm to the avenue. I think that these decorations bring in the holiday spirit and will attract more people to the avenue. It would be really nice to see more of such things.
Happy Holidays,
Lauren
"Central Avenue is such a great place to shop."
This open letter was submitted to the CASID office and addressed to CASID President Michael Yun.
Dear Mr. Yun,
I wanted to tell you a story about a great experience I had at Novick’s Hardware a few weeks ago. I have used the same shopping cart to do my shopping on Central Avenue for many years. Lately, it hasn’t worked as well as it used to, so I went to Novick’s to get a new one. But the manager there, Fabian Miranda, asked to see my old cart first, and he fixed everything that was wrong with it, free of charge! One good deed deserves another, so I made sure to order Fabian and the other workers some pizza to show them how much I appreciated them saving me the cost of buying a new cart.
For seniors on a budget, it is so important to have stores like Novick’s who will treat their customers well instead of taking every opportunity to make money. Like many other seniors I know, I have children who could take me to the mall to do my shopping, but I always prefer to shop on Central Avenue as I have for over 30 years, because there are so many stores that have a heart and are willing to help out seniors like me. Also, I love getting to visit with all my neighbors while I’m running errands – give me the name of one mall where you could do that! I know the next generation of business owners on Central Avenue is just as kind to customers as Novick’s and all the other businesses are to us now, because they are the reason that Central is such a great place to shop.
Sincerely
Bernadette Morrissey
