Download or read book Saving Main Street written by Gary Rivlin and published by HarperCollins. This book was released on 2022-10-18 with total page 381 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A veteran journalist follows an inspiring ensemble cast of small business owners fighting to keep their businesses alive through Covid-19, while exploring the sweeping trends and government policies that had brought small businesses to the breaking point long before the coronavirus hit. There is a tendency to fetishize small business even as it shrinks before our eyes. Americans extol the virtues of small, local, often family-run shops, yet buy from big-box retailers and chains that dominate the competition. Even before the pandemic, small businesses seemed endangered. When Covid-19 hit, the resounding question was: How will they be able to survive this? Saving Main Street is an unfiltered, up-close examination of a small group of business owners and their employees, their struggles, and their strategies to survive. It is an eye-opening tale of grit, perseverance, and entrepreneurial spirit that follows three businesses: a restaurant owner and his rambunctious staff, an immigrant running her own hair salon, and the owner of a “non-life sustaining” gift shop—alongside a larger cast of vividly drawn characters. Gary Rivlin focuses on the first days of the Covid lockdown and the ensuing eighteen months of chaos, including the personal and financial risks, a contentious presidential election, and contradictory governmental guidelines—all which compounded the everyday challenges of running an independent business trying to attract and retain customers who expect low prices, convenience, and endless choice. Rivlin keenly observes small businesses from all angles, examining commonly held “myths”; contradictions in government policy; enormous racial and class fissures; a national self-identity intrinsically connected to the ideal of small business, and how the decline of this American way of retail impacts our notions of American exceptionalism, community, and civic duty. As Rivlin reveals, there’s something enduring about small business in the American psyche. Life will have changed in unprecedented ways on the other side of this pandemic, yet hard times will also create opportunities, offering hope and survival.

Download or read book Main Street written by Nicky Rossiter and published by The History Press. This book was released on 2018-04-16 with total page 131 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Wexford is one of the few towns or cities in Ireland where Main Street is still the main retail and commercial street of the town. In Dublin this honour goes to O'Connell and Grafton Street; in Cork it is Patrick Street; but in Wexford, Main Street is the hub and the site of Wexford's hidden historical gems. Main Street: Heart of Wexford contains little-known photographs, interesting advertisements and intriguing information about the street, such as the presence of a bag factory on South Main Street, Frank Hall of Radio Telefis Eireann being the official opener of the Book Centre in Wexford on 13 June 1975, and that Lamb House was a shop at the top of Anne Street on the south side and had a life-size lamb as its shop sign. Both insightful and comprehensive, this book is a wonderful history concentrating on the principal street of Wexford.

Book excerpt: The mysterious millionaire and highly successful corporate executive, Mathew Anthony (alias the Mailman), is back in action as he continues his quest for the quintessential America, driven by his idealistic passion for right as he perceives it. His mind, his obsession, is locked on the preservation of the values of family, hard work, and an unyielding loyalty to his country. The Mailman, an assassin who fears nothing, spends no time thinking about aspirations or his destiny. Thus, he worries little about his own lifes journey or its demise. He takes whatever action he feels is warranted when he encounters greed, decadence, harmful idealism, false intellect, social upheaval, and excess. His ambition in life is to improve the American landscape to perpetuate the prospect for opportunity to attain the American Dream for all. For Mathew Anthony, his identical twin brother, Thomas, is his most valued treasure and confidant. Their relationship from birth has been nothing short of uncompromising love and support for one another. A journey is about to take place that will not only affect their respective lives, their core values, and their reason for being but also the lives of the very nation the brothers so unconventionally love and defend. An extensive search by the CIA will be initiated to find the murderer of one of their own, Scott Johnson. The initial person of interest is a phantom assassin known only as The Mailman. Scott Johnson was his agency handler. Unbeknownst to them, the Mailman had personally made the delivery that rendered the demise of their agent, Johnson. Thomas Anthony launches his presidential campaign, which will challenge the underbelly of the powerful political establishment, only to encounter a maniacal assassination. The assassination planned and executed incites the brothers to action like never before. Those involved in the assassination will receive undesirable consequences from the elusive Mailman. No one is exempt, not even the president of the United States. SET NO LIMITS, HAVE NO FEAR, AND ALLOW NO REMORSE.
