Let’s take care of our own

Everyone is looking forward to the new Cave Creek Road streetscape project to be completed. It promises to enhance the beauty of the area and make the town more pedestrian‑friendly.

But there are growing pains. About one dozen businesses along the path of the construction work are hurting because the construction takes up parking spaces or makes it difficult for shoppers to reach these merchants.

Let’s take care of our own by going the proverbial extra mile to get through the construction and continue to patronize these merchants. 

Among those businesses affected are: The Epicurean Palette; Flat Tire Bike Shop; Cosmopolitan Beads; Desert Rose Florists; Tycha’s Beyond the Border World Imports; the shops at Frontier Village; Prudential Real Estate; Oak’s Diner; Blue Coyote Gallery; Barber Styling by Gene and Desert Foothills Dance.

Businesses such as these are the lifeblood of our community. They attract winter visitors.

They add to the uniqueness of Cave Creek, and their sales tax revenue makes other public works projects possible.

Let’s do what all good neighbors do and take the time to take care of each other.
