What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

The third annual Party on Pierce Street brought people to Hill City as part of the ongoing revival of Lynchburg's historic Pierce Street. This event also marked the soft opening of the historic Calloway Store, which had been closed for approximately 40 years. The organization responsible for the revival received the building about six years ago when it was condemned.
