Did You Know...

Memorial Day originated in 1968 as Decoration Day when General John Logan proclaimed that those who had died in battle for their nation should be remembered and honored for their sacrifices.

While the tradition remains strong for some, others may have forgotten the purpose behind Memorial Day.  To help rekindle this tradition, a National Moment of Remembrance was named in 2000 in which - at 3PM local time on Memorial Day - every citizen is asked to informally or formally observe the fallen in their own way.

Remember to honor your vets and show them your appreciation every day, and honor their sacrifices on Memorial Day, Monday, May 28.

Your Business Here!

As most Urbana residents know, there has been quite a bit of talk about the new King's building at 308 Wood Street, downtown, particularly as a possible site for a future city library or businesses to increase revenue and traffic on Urbana's main streets.

The builder, Russell King, has shown interest in leasing out the available space to one or multiple tenants (up to 5), or perhaps selling the unit as condominiums.  He has not only offered to assist in finishing the interior but finance as well.  Mr. King has left the interior unfinished to leave for maximum customization by future tenants. (see possible floor plan here)

The building has entrances both on the front and rear, free parking surrounding the area, and has a lot of window space for signage.  Some ideas for future tenants: exercise facility, restaurant, daycare, health facility, vet clinic, general store, etc...

~ Lease options range from 650 to 4360 sq ft. ~

If you or anyone you know might be interested in this purchase or lease opportunity, please contact Russell King at russkingassoc@aol.com.
