The Wakery

Two years ago, The Wakery needed a GoFundMe to help recover cash stolen from a break-in, due to access points from the Adams St Fire.

Now other downtown businesses are dealing with setbacks due to a water main break.

The Bus Stop needs the help of those who love and support downtown.

As business owners, we can't control everything, and there are some things that can break a business that should thrive.

If you can, please donate a few dollars to help them.

According to Visit Springfield director Scott Dahl, the city expects a record year in travel expenditures, forecasted to exceed $650 million.

Business owners in downtown Springfield, however, say they aren’t seeing or feeling those numbers. A story link is below.

Thinking of The Curve Inn today as they process the aftermath of a massive fire in the establishment.

All the love to our small business friends. Many places around town have collections going, if you feel so led to give.

Daisy Jane's was our downtown neighbor at our brick and mortar location. Julie and her daughters (and of course granddaughter Sophie, the best employee!) have always been so kind and supportive of The Wakery and of me.

It's incredibly violating to have your place broken into. You don't feel safe, your hard work is trashed, and the tiny little bit of money you did make is gone forever.

We need all of our hearts downtown right now. Please support this wonderful business when it's back up and running.

Our coffee beans came from Custom Cup. They're wonderful downtown neighbors (and real life neighbors to my parents!), and my heart goes out to them today.
We were broken into shortly after the fire and it was a horrible experience.

My heart is downtown. Please support them when they are back up and running.
