I think a lot of people were taken aback last summer that so much construction was happening at the same time. It was something customers were talking about all summer. |
I think what is being done is actually adding to this area's character. Bellingham is an artistic community and recently there have been a lot more shops opening in Fairhaven that offer local artwork. A few years ago, these artists were on their own when it came to selling their work. |
I've noticed businesses staying open later, and I will probably need to shift my hours, especially in the summer. |
