Main Street in the Old North End used to be a thriving commercial area—and although things have changed for the worse according to Marigolds on Main founder Barry Ogden, the city needs to focus on the area’s potential.
Ogden tells CHSJ News he’d like to see the murals along that street keep up and a fountain installed near Fort Howe.
Ogden says part of the reason people aren’t attracted to the area is also the high rate of speed on Main–but that needs to change is the city wants to generate tax revenue from the North End.
