My friend, Beth Hylan, has been telling me forever that I would love the quaint local shops filled with vintage treasures, and she was right. I took a mini road trip to Concord center yesterday to visit Beth in her <a href="http://www.bethhylan.com/">new shop</a> on the second floor of 44 Main Street (there are stairs outside the building), and met a couple of the other store owners who share this unique vantage point overlooking Main Street. </div> <div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiE480s1ni2MAMLKHcHBmr9IWkNBq-ArYU-Vqm7K_lzMqqi_HwEB77MM4JjWE0sewfGvyJBS2ORFnS1fyLYQKz3lq0B2391YP7kVXoIdGhOBbb4ErNwkSMyohd3NtKLYtsNz2ogd7eLC8A/s1600/StudioB_logo.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5453129624466650018" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiE480s1ni2MAMLKHcHBmr9IWkNBq-ArYU-Vqm7K_lzMqqi_HwEB77MM4JjWE0sewfGvyJBS2ORFnS1fyLYQKz3lq0B2391YP7kVXoIdGhOBbb4ErNwkSMyohd3NtKLYtsNz2ogd7eLC8A/s400/StudioB_logo.jpg" style="display: block;
