We’re moving the administrative operations of our eCommerce company to 415 Main Street, and remodeling some space in an office building that was built in 1904.
We couldn’t be any more excited.
There’s just something special about walking the same hallways the men, and women in our town have walked for over a century, while still enjoying blazing-fast fiber internet from SECOM, and sharing the same block with a super-hip coffee shop, and our town’s brewery.
I couldn’t wait to move into our new digs, so I begged our landlord to let me in a day early to start sprucing up my office. As I was repainting, I noticed the doorknob pictured above. Apparently, sometime in the last 103 years, someone did a really terrible job cutting-in around it.
At first I was annoyed, and had plans to take the errant paint off with a solvent, but then I started wondering who was responsible…
Maybe it was an entrepreneur in the 1920s who didn’t have a ton of time to spend on silly things like painting. (like me)
Maybe it was someone in the 1970s who bribed their friends with a 6-pack of beer to help them repaint their office. (like I did)
Maybe it was a parent in the 1990’s, who had a child who insisted on “helping” them paint their new office. (like mine did)
Whoever is responsible for this sub-standard paint job, I’m going to leave it the way it is as long as I’m here.
I love the idea of using the same offices as the people who helped build our town into what it is today. I love wondering what they were like, what they worked on, and who they were. Most of all, I love dreaming about how I can be a part of our town’s future.
