The Town of Brookline – in partnership with the Brookline business community – is launching a coordinated storefront sign program and #ShopBrookline social media campaign to brighten Brookline storefronts and to convey how the Brookline community can support its small businesses during this difficult time. Signs will be available to businesses as of May 13th and distributed by Brookline’s Economic Development Division staff.
This idea was the brainchild of Lucia Berman-Rossi, owner of Tiny Hanger in Coolidge Corner, and grew out of a series of virtual town hall meetings for Brookline businesses impacted by COVID-19. Brookline’s Small Business Development Committee has hosted these weekly virtual town hall meetings since mid-March.

Neighbors lament 'tragic' decline of historic Old Cloverdale retail space
Fast forward to 2012 and she was the shop manager of Seville Salon located in the same storefront Fronduti's used to operate, a strip of retail in the heart of the community.
She's spent a lot of time there and built a lot of memories at 1030 Fairview Avenue and the surrounding businesses. It was thriving.

"We really feel like we set out to create an amazing, one-of-a-kind experience, and we did that," Cooper said. "There wasn't that existing already [downtown]: a fair-trade, handmade store… So I thought, 'this is the perfect way to combine what I love and care about, which is beautiful goods made with integrity, in a market where it's missing that.'"
