Community Event
Dear Friends,
Many of you have likely heard about the devastating fire that occurred in downtown Lexington in the early morning hours of May 19. The blaze began at local staple, Shoto Japanese Steakhouse and Seafood, and quickly spread to historic shop, The Candy Factory, resulting in the total loss of both businesses. Neighboring businesses, Bagels and More on Main and Main Street Pizza & Deli, also sustained smoke and water damage. Thankfully, no injuries were reported.
In response, we are coming together as a community to support these local businesses and the people behind them.
