WHAT TO DO

THIS WEEKEND:
A Virtual Vintage Shopping Experience
@HistoricWestBottoms
www.westbottoms.com

We are all in this together, trying to determine the best ways to live. We know shopping the West Bottoms can be therapeutic so our collective small, family-owned businesses are offering a “virtual vintage shopping” experience this First Friday Weekend without leaving your home.  Window-shop stores inside the 12th Street Bridge Entertainment District by viewing and commenting on their individual social media posts on items for sale or creative décor that can inspire you. 
 
“April:  Bunnies in the Bottoms”  & “May: Blooms in the Bottoms” is canceled with all stores closed until the stay at home orders are lifted.  We send faith, love, hope, and laughter to your homes from ours during this unprecedented time.  We also want to thank you for all your support of our district and shopping local.  
 
The Historic West Bottoms will be “hopping” again, soon with BQ Ocean Blu – live band performing in the streets, the shops blossoming with spring decor, the food trucks giving off amazing aroma’s and our favorite peeps (YOU) strolling the streets.
 
So join us, online this weekend!
