July is INDEPENDENT RETAILER MONTH

Independent Retailer Month in July offers an opportunity to show your local small business how much you appreciate them.

Small businesses employ approximately 51 percent of the U.S. non-farm workforce according to the Census Bureau and the Small Business Administration. Nearly all those businesses are independent retailers. They supply products and services we can’t get from big box stores.

• Changing our Neighborhood Name

  Our neighborhood name of “Pinckney” was recently changed to “Pinkney.” This change occurred because Pinckney with a ‘c’ was associated with Charles Cotesworth Pinckney, a Revolutionary War general who signed the Constitution and who also was a slaveholder who believed slavery was fundamental to the American way of life (he owned a large plantation in South Carolina). Given this problematic history, neighborhood residents voted to change our neighborhood name. To learn more about the year-long process, go to our dedicated webpage. The final round of voting ultimately landed on the name of “Pinkney” in honor of William Pinkney, who gave a famous anti-slavery speech in 1789.
