Received a note from a reader over the weekend about an event they attended Saturday night at the Nazareth News Agency, the first "Java Jam."
As I noted a few weeks back (read the post here) the Nazareth News Agency is changing. As the reader noted the Java Jam featured local band "Magic Bean", who played an eclectic mix of classic rock, folk and original music. Two of the band members work at Martin Guitar. They were great!
The place was packed with people of all ages from kids to seniors! Mike, Heidi and their staff of family members served various types of coffee beverages and smoothies. They also offer baked treats from surrounding local businesses (Pie Shop, West End deli). They sampled all their specialty beverages and everything was yummy.

The reader also noted that it was a really fun, inexpensive and a safe night out.
Finally, the reader, who is also volunteering on the Main Street Initiative group with me, stated that this was exactly the kind of thing we need on Main Street, and it deserves the support of our community.
I think in this regard there are some exciting things happening on Main Street and hopefully the group will be able to support these businesses, the existing ones, and recruit new ones to build it up even more. Not only will it help with the tax base, but it will make Main Street a destination.
Were you at the Java Jam on Saturday night? What did you think? Have you been to the News Agency since it transformed? What are your thoughts? Stop in and tell us about it.

Well, I wasn't there, so I don't think this is the kind of comment you're looking for, but I think this is the most definitively positive thing to happen to Nazareth within my memory, and I can't wait to come home and see the changes that have been made.
