The Grand Opening That Wasn't > There's More To The Story

 . . only two [2] people showed up on Friday Nov 6.
That didn't phase the owner of the new business Polk Barn Primitives on S Center Street.
Lisa Sorenson and her daughter Matti were busy in the shop and waiting for a new big sign to get installed on the front. [just yesterday they got email notification that the sign plans had been approved by P &Z - this lady moves fast]
Yours truly happened to be walking by today, getting into a brief spontaneous chat with Lisa while the sign was put up on the front by Todd Tate, owner of Sign Art whose motto is "A business with no SIGN . . . Is a SIGN of no business". 
Pole Art Primitives now has both a sign and an experienced business owner who just relocated with her family to Arizona in April - six months later she opens a business enterprise in the New Urban Downtown Mesa!

Lisa owned and operated the same business in a small town in the state of Washington for 15 years where business permits, certificates of occupancy and licensing were done with a handshake. There was more paperwork and channels to get through here, but Lisa had a lot of praise for the fast-track approvals from City Hall.
