It's not ALL about Food in the Strip

by Taylor Reynolds

Pictured here is a photo of Roxanne's Dried Flowers shop. What is a dried flower shop you may ask? Well it is just what it says it is. Roxanne sells beautifully dried flower arrangements and other home decorating tools. While the prices may be a little higher than I had anticipated, this store is still better alternative than Wal-Mart. Like mentioned in an earlier post, the Strip is a perfect location to find anything you need without going to the mega-stores like Target and Wal-Mart. There isn't an object you can't find down here either. While the Strip is famous for its restaurants and nightlife, these small stores are a great part about the neighborhood as well. A few blocks away from Roxanne's is a shop that sells nothing but decorations for holidays. Other stores sell clothing, and even more popular items sold are works of art made by local artists. Jewelry makers, painters, and sculptures feature their artwork in outdoor and indoor galleries. Supporting the local businesses is essential in our economy today, and the Strip is the perfect place to do that.
