fee with her landlady, Ann
Hickman.
The "coffee of the day", served
piping hot, is "Cocoa Cabaret”—
one of numerous flavors of coffee
beans Howell has on sale, along
with teapots, coffee pots, mugs,
scented candles and a nice variety
of gourmet cookies, candies and
jams.
Both of these new Perry busi
nesses are located in The Village
Shops, a rambling cluster of. small
businesses in downtown Perry
and, according to some of the shop
owners there "one of Perry’s best
kept secrets," despite its convenient
location and ample parking.
What's there? A lot more than
meets the eye if you are just driving
past on Carroll Street.

There are two beauty salons

There's a long-established shoe
repair shop. "D&T", a watch repair
shop, a clock shop, a seamstress at
“Sara’s Sew N’ Sew" who does all
kinds of sewing and alterations, a
new shop, “Woodson’s Trophies"
which specializes in engraved tro
phies, plaques and name tags; a tat
too parlor, a Chinese restaurant
The Golden Cafe, and Elizabeth's
Treasures, which combines gifts with
resale of good quality used clothing.
The Village Shops got started
about 20 years ago, when Ann
Hickman and her husband, the late
H.J. “Joe” Hickman, went to an
auction and purchased an old hotel
located at that site. The Hickmans
had traveled a lot and enjoyed visit
ing small shops across the country,
and they began adding on to the

Ann Hickman, >vho still owns
and operates the coptplex of shops,
says every space is rented at *his
time, and that over the years a num
ber of business have started in The
Village Shops and then moved on to
other, higher-rent locations.
"It’s a good place to get started,"
she said, "That’s what my husband
wanted, to have a place for young
people and retired people who
wanted to start their own business
es but could manage the high rents
in other locations.”
High-rent or low, the Village
Shops have a lot to offer It’s an
adventure to check out the different
shops and the rambling brick walk
ways. and Christmas shoppers will
find some very good buys there .
