On Main Street

SHERRY HAMILTON / GAZETTE-JOURNAL
While many businesses and offices are shuttered, there is still some activity on Main Street in Mathews. Janice Jones, above left, owner of Roane’s Antiques at the Cottage, packages some items she sold online to Ralph and Mary Horn of Bavon during a Facebook Live sale she held on Tuesday, April 21. The Horns watched the sale, marked the items they wanted to purchase as sold in the comments section, and made an appointment to pick them up on Friday. Jones said since her business space is so small, she spaced out the customers who were picking up their purchases, but allowed family groups. She said she plans to have an online sale at 6:30 p.m. every Tuesday.
