Prefer Mom and Pop Shops to the Malls?

I have to admit -- I feared mall withdrawal when I first moved here from Cincinnati. Gladly there was no need to fear.  Instead of a mall filled with the same trendy things, Hillsboro is filled with a multitude of quaint one-of-a-kind shops with locally made wares. It's quite likely the person behind the cash register actually owns the establishment.

The success of these Mom and Pop Shops is greatly assisted by the Hillsboro Uptown Business Association, or HUBA as it's known locally.  The Hillsboro Uptown Business Association (HUBA) was started in 2006 by a group of Uptown Business Owners. Their Mission is to nurture and assist the growth, improvement and expansion of both existing and new businesses and services offered in Uptown Hillsboro.

HUBA sponsors such things as "First Fridays" where the shops and restaurants stay open late, cruise-ins, art walks, baby contests, Boofest, a BBQ challenge, just to name a few.  Additionally they keep the downtown area filled with beautiful planters spring, summer and fall.

Still afraid of mall withdrawal?  It's only takes 45 minutes of beautiful country roads to get to the nearest one.
