| | Our photo of the week was captured by Great American Downtown’s Paul Shea, along Main Street. Expanded outdoor dining has been a wildly successful way to create room for physical distancing between restaurant patrons, and support the recovery of our small business economy. Things are getting even better, with accessibility improvements being rolled out this week! Great work to the DPW and City of Nashua! Do you have some great pictures of our vibrant Downtown you’d like to show off? Post them to our Facebook page, or send them to us by email!
