21 Local Vendors Participating in Bartlett Square Makers Market This Sunday

Handmade ceramics, jewelry, embroidered art based off television and films, and play kits for kiddos, are just a few of the local vendors participating at this weekend's Bartlett Square Makers Market. "We've had great response to past markets, visitors are loving the experience of getting outside and interacting with local craftspeople, it's a great way to share what they have been working on and reinforce that our community is home to some really talented people," said Alex Jacobson.

Jameson & Thompson Picture Framers Moving from Home of 35 Years to Bigger, Better Location

After 35 years of being right off Centre Street, Jameson & Thompson Picture Framers is moving to a new home with more parking, a larger gallery space, and more. Moving from Greenview Avenue to Bartlett Square is a very good thing says owner Alex Jacobson, who had known for awhile he wanted a new spot. "The biggest reason we're moving is accessibility. As Centre Street gets busier, it is harder and harder for our customers, who almost all have to drive to drop off and pickup artwork, both framed and unframed, to find parking near the building," said Jacobson, adding that accessibility has been a constant complaint in the 4-plus years of owning the business. There used to be two dedicated spots behind 632-638 Centre St., but those were taken away five years ago, and a new building is being erected very slowly at that location.
