Fire Recovery by Ian Leishman On November 30th, a devastating fire impacted the heart of Wortley Village, affecting cherished local businesses, Sha Choix and A Village Tail. The fire struck during the busiest season for retailers. In response, the Old South Business Association and Old South Community Organization hosted a town hall to discuss recovery efforts and ways the community can help. Both Sha Choix and A Village Tail shared that a community fundraiser would be really helpful and appreciated during this challenging time. A fundraiser has been posted at oldsouthba.com/firerecovery. All proceeds directly help recovery efforts, including restocking inventory and covering expenses related to reopening. Thank you to everyone who has supported these cherished members of our community so far. Every contribution, no matter the size, makes a meaningful difference. Together, we can help Sha Choix and A Village Tail get back on their feet.
