Page & Palette Owner Seeks to Ensure Viability of Main Street
Fairhope, Alabama, a city of approximately 12,000 residents, which prides itself on "the storybook charm of its shops and flowers," is in the midst of a battle to keep big box retailers, including Wal-Mart, out of its surrounding area. Among the group of concerned citizens who organized as "A Fair Hope of Success" to ensure the continued viability of Fairhope's downtown businesses is bookseller Karin Wilson of Fairhope's Page & Palette bookstore.
