A Fine Night Downtown
New Albany's Main Street organization, Develop New Albany, saw fit to honor ourr store with its Horizon Award on Thursday, Nov. 17, during that group's annual meeting. This is one of four Pillar awards the organization gives out each year, and we are honored to be selected in our first year.
Also honored Thursday in a presentation by staff member Jane Alcorn were three other "pillars" of the community, as defined by the boundaries of the Urban Enterprise Zone.
The Redmen Club took the marble trophy for its architectural contribution to the city with the Renaissance Award. In just a short time, the Redmen built a new club building on Main Street and built it in such a way as to strongly complement the historic character of that section of town.
The architectural firm of Michell Timperman and Ritz earned the Foundation Award for its contributions to the business community.
And Al Goodman was honored with the Achievement Award, granted to an individual who epitomizes the spirit of New Albany Business.
Here are those nominated, with the "winner" in bold. I put winner in boldface because they each were deserving.

I'm sure Jane Alcorn is hard at work with a release on the event and she has photos. I will invite Jane to offer those photos and the release for posting here. But, as you guessed, there was no media coverage of the annual meeting.
This is a dramatically difficult week for the individuals who work for The Tribune, with big changes under way. But that does not excuse the INSTITUTIONAL failure to cover the event. I note that I haven't seen coverage of Sen. Sipes town meeting in today's Tribune, either.
I wonder if Sunday's editorial will offer an explanation and an apology for the Baron Hill gaffe. None of us gets paid to be the newspaper's "public editor," but unless and until the paper makes an effort to police itself, I guess we have to be the "paper police."
Randy congrats on the award!!!!
Ceece love your comment!
"If the rest of Kentuckiana finds out that we are more then space in between Ceasars and the new Bass Pro Shop, it could be a great start!"
