Local Group Organizes to Support Small Businesses
Blacksburg, VA – A rainy downtown Blacksburg was hit by a mob during spring break. Thankfully, it was a mob sparked by generosity, rather than aggression.
A crowd of about 30 people assembled at the Market Square Park last Thursday evening to start Blacksburg’s first ever “cash mob,” hosted by Downtown Blacksburg, Inc.
At about 6 p.m., Laureen Blakemore, director of Downtown Blacksburg, announced the crowd would begin the evening shopping at Homebody, a fair trade shop specializing in clothing, jewelry and trinkets, followed by a stop at the Cellar Restaurant for drinks, food and socializing.
