Alley Flowers replanted at new site
With a new name and a larger location, Alley Flowers Inc. is ready to expand its offerings and already has gained some new customers. Ribbon-cutting ceremonies, sponsored by the Uptown Merchants Association, were held Friday morning. Brooke and Kelly Kitchel purchased Jan's Alley Flowers & Antiques at 816 Main St. in March 2004 and recently moved the business across the street and a few doors east, into the former location of Madwater Tea & Espresso Bar.

Female Hotel And Resort Ownership On Rise In Luxury Hospitality Market
After many years of male domination, the luxury hospitality market is now experiencing a new trend - luxury hotels, resorts and villas owned and designed by women. From Shambala Estate in Bali, the high-end Lindian Village in Rhodes, Greece and Casa Colonial in the Dominican Republic to the ultra chic Cerulean-Villa on St. Barnes Bay, Anguilla women are now leading the charge in ownership and design of unique luxury hotels and resorts.
This new breed of hoteliers is inspired by a booming luxury travel market, as well as personal experiences as hotel guests traveling for corporate and leisure. The end-result is hotels, resorts and villas that focus on the smallest details and design elements which incorporate comfort and style into communal areas to provide an at home atmosphere.
