US 1 Dunkin’ Donuts in the works

The upcoming Starbucks for the Shoppes on Granada, located at 1246 W. Granada Blvd., is now proposed to be housed in a standalone building, according to city Planning Director Steven Spraker.

An earlier proposal by the developer placed the Starbucks in a building with a second retail space. The existing Starbucks on West Granada Boulevard would relocate to the new building.

The Dunkin’ Donuts will be adjacent to the existing Dollar General near the I-95 interchange.

A new Dunkin’ Donuts is coming to Ormond Beach, replacing a former gas station site at 1535 N. U.S. 1.

The building will span 2,013 square feet and include a drive-thru.

The redevelopment project highlight some of the issues with other existing sites along the same corridor, said city Planning Director Steven Spraker in an email. The site operated as a gas station and convenience store from 1976 to 2007, and has a large non-

conforming sign that’s had environmental issues in the past.

The site plan was approved on May 22, 2019, and included the demolition of the sign, the existing building (which has already been torn down) and a 36-foot greenbelt buffer along U.S. 1, Spraker said.

The property has been vacant since 2013. The underground gasoline storage tanks were removed in 2007.

The land was annexed into the city in 2013.

“This is not funny. This is something very severe.

This is something that caused a panic and they should be absolutely ashamed of themselves.”

Spraker added that the site began participating with the Ormond Beach Brownfield program in 2017, and that grant money was used to perform hazardous substance and petroleum assessments in designated areas.

The developer has constructed other Dunkin’ Donuts in Ormond Beach, including the one at 300 S. Nova Road and the one under construction at 250 S. Atlantic Ave. The completion date for this project is unknown.

The Volusia County Sheriff’s Office is offering a free, nineweek Citizens Academy starting April 14.

The program is designed to educate citizens about law enforcement, including the training and tools deputies and employees use, according to a VCSO press release.

280 HOMES

HOA land giveaway sparks opposition In 2018, road flooding stranded some residents in their homes.

Plantation Pines HOA offered 10 free acres to Volusia County for a fire station, but some residents are not so sure.

JARLEENE ALMENAS ASSOCIATE EDITOR

T

en acres of wooded land.

Bad roads. A proposal for a fire station. A voluntary homeowners association with low participation.

These are the four factors currently impacting the Plantation Pines subdivision in unincorporated Ormond Beach, located in the rural area west of I-95. On Feb. 24, the residents were to be faced with a vote some called unexpected: Should the HOA donate 10 acres of land at the front of the neighborhood to the county for the construction of a new fire station? (That Feb. 24 vote has been canceled as the HOA continues negotiations.)

The Ormond Beach Observer recently met with 11 Plantation Pines residents who opposed the proposal, saying that the first time they heard their community’s HOA could be donating land to the county was a couple of weeks ago.

They are worried about losing the buffer of trees that helps maintain the countryside feel to their neighborhood. The fire station is not wanted by some residents.

But unless they join the HOA, they won’t be able to vote.

Rebecca Rybicki, who has lived in the neighborhood since 1993, said she feels like the proposal shouldn’t move forward if even one resident opposes it, whether or not they belong to the HOA. “They moved in with that land — with that buffer, that protection, that bubble of land — and that’s not fair,” Rybicki said. “We all have our reasons as to why we don’t think it’s good for our community.”

The history of the deeded land, which spans just under 23 acres, dates back to 1988, when the developer, The Branigar Corp.

Inc., gave the recreation land, including a lake, to the HOA. “The land does not belong to all the residents,” HOA President Jim Stoltenborg said. “The land was deeded to the HOA. If you’re a member of the HOA, you can vote on it.”

AN OFFER TO THE COUNTY

The proposal for a fire station is not a new one, Stoltenborg said.

Eight years ago, the HOA

offered the land to the county for the relocation of Fire Station 18, which is currently located at 500 Rodeo Road. However, the offer never went anywhere, and it wasn’t until after Volusia County approved the allocation of $12 million to improve its fire services, back in March 2019, that the conversation resurfaced.

Volusia County Interim Community Information Director Kevin Captain said in an email that a short time after the presentation to the council, a representative from the Plantation Pines HOA reached out to the county and indicated there was an interest in donating land for a fire station.

“The county of Volusia did not make a request for donated land,” Captain said. “In this case, the proposed donation was offered.”

While it’s possible that land may have been donated for fire stations back in the 1970s “in the volunteer days,” Captain said there is no knowledge of a similar situation occurring recently.

Why 10 acres? Stoltenborg said it’s because the station would have wildfire fighting equipment on the premises. He hopes having a fire station nearby would quicken response times in the rural area as well.

“In addition, property owners also benefit from the reduction of insurance premiums, as fire losses are massive contributors to expensive insurance claims,” Captain said. “The type of fire station also matters when it includes new construction, advanced life support service and heavy wildland equipment.”

“We all have our reasons as to why we don’t think it’s good for our community.”

The marquee sign at the entrance of the Plantation Pines neighborhood still shows the meeting date for the fire station proposal.

REBECCA RYBICKI, who has lived in the neighborhood since 1993

If there was a fire in a home in Plantation Pines, having a station nearby wouldn’t make much of a difference, said resident Enzo Marchese, who is a firefighter himself in Orange County.

Houses burn all the time, even in cities.

“And we have the hydrant next to it,” Marchese said.

The dirt roads in Plantation Pines likely won’t support the fire trucks, either. But seeing as they’re privately owned, the county isn’t required to assume maintenance.

That’s why resident Kevin Rybicki asked why the HOA is offering the land for free at all, when the county won’t help with the roads.

“Meanwhile during the rainy season, what are they going to do when the firetrucks come out here, get stuck and can’t go down the roads?” he said.

The HOA has the responsibility to maintain the roads.

The normal range of active members in the HOA is between 55-62, said Stoltenborg. As of Jan. 26, the membership was 26 members.

Plantation Pines has approximately 280 homes. This is aggravating for Stoltenborg.

“A lot of people, and it’s mostly the ones that are ironically not members, are the ones that have been complaining about this,” Stoltenborg said.

CHANGING THE NEIGHBORHOOD

Resident Amber Mathisen recently moved into the neighborhood.

She bought her home based on its location. She wanted to her family to live in the country.

If the vote to donate the land to the county passes, her home will face the station.

“I don’t want to sit on my front porch and see a parking lot and the back of a Fire Department,” Mathisen said. “On top of having all that land cleared, I’m going to see cars and road.”

Resident Ed Best has lived in Plantation Pines for 13 years. The tradeoff doesn’t make sense to him. It’ll make the neighborhood noisy.

“Every time they send a truck out with the siren on, whoever lives up front there is going to get to listen to that noise,” he said.

And for Pauline Rose, buying a home in Plantation Pines was a chance to escape the hustle and bustle of the city — the traffic, the stoplights and development.

“We just want to be away from everything,” Rose said.

They knew what they were getting into regarding public safety issues when they all moved to Plantation Pines, resident Greg Smith said. They didn’t move out there to become part of an HOA. But because of the situation, he’ll pay the $75 annual dues to be able to vote.

“People in our position kind of look like the bad guys because we don’t want the safety unit in the front of our neighborhood,” Smith said.

The city of Ormond Beach is currently working to update its stormwater master plan, which will create a roadmap for projects to improve stormwater management and coastal resilience for the next decade.

Back on Jan. 27, the city held a workshop at the Ormond Beach Senior Center to discuss the process of creating the plan, and residents in the priority areas were invited to provide input. Some of those areas include residents who live near Sanchez, Cumberland and Putnam avenues.

“There’s been a lot of historic flooding in that area from the creek there,” City Engineer Shawn Finley said. “We had some water in the streets after Hurricane Irma.”

The meeting was attended by about 30 people, he said. Another area of concern for the city is between U.S. 1 and the Halifax River, both north and south of Granada Boulevard.

Mark Ellard, senior principal water resources and environmental engineer for Geosyntec Consultants, said the update is still in the initial stages. There are seven phases, with the last being the City Commission reviewing the plan in a workshop. Currently, the consultants are working on gathering data.

“When you get updated data for what’s going on now that may be relevant to the program, and getting information from residents about their problems, issues and questions — it’s an important part of the initial phase,” Ellard said.

Ormond Beach’s flood risks include heavy rainfall, storm surge, groundwater and tidal flooding, and all impact the city’s stormwater plan update, he said.

Now is the time for residents facing stormwater issues to make their needs known.

“Even though it’s after the meeting, any input that the public may have in the process is valuable,” Ellard said.

The city was able to complete virtually every project in the last stormwater master plan, said Finley. It is still working on the second phase of the Central Park stormwater project.

Thanks to having a plan in place, Finley said, the city was able to obtain $10 million to $12 million in funding from FEMA and the state Department of Emergency Management.

“It’s one of the most critical documents we have in engineering to help us plan out our projects and get them accomplished,” Finley said.

More music and vendors on North US 1?

Also: storage facilities seek to store boats and trailers outside.

WAYNE GRANT REAL ESTATE EDITOR

The City Commission will vote March 3 on whether to grant Boot Hill Saloon Outpost, at 1089 N. U.S. 1, a special exception to have itinerate vending and live outdoor music during special events, including Turkey Rod Run and Jeep Beach, from 2 p.m. to 10 p.m.

In addition, the business seeks to have live outdoor music four times per month on a Saturday or Sunday from 2 p.m. to 5 p.m.

At the Planning Board meeting, some nearby residents spoke in favor, and some against. Some protested having more outdoor activities on North U.S. 1, saying it decreases property values and is not fair to homeowners to have music every weekend. There were also residents who said they enjoyed the entertainment and hope the musicians are allowed to play later.

The Planning Board recommended approval of itinerant vending and outdoor music during special events, except for Turkey Rod Run and Jeep Beach, saying other businesses have not been approved to have activities during those events.

“It’s not fair to other vendors,” said board member G.G. Galloway.

The board also recommended

The Boot Hill facility on North U.S. 1 is quiet now, but could become the scene of weekly outdoor live music.

approval of outdoor live entertainment four times per month.

The rules, as published in the meeting agenda packet, state that if there are two code violations exceeding the time limitation or the maximum decibel levels in any one-year period, the right will be revoked.

OUTDOOR STORAGE

A local storage company is asking the city to allow the parking of boats and recreational vehicles in the parking lots of its three storage facilities in the city. Currently, that would be against the

zoning at those locations.

The Planning Board heard the request from Andy Clark, of All Aboard Storage, at their Feb. 13 meeting, and the City Commission will consider the matter in two readings on March 17 and April 7.

Storage of the boats and RVs in parking lots has been a common practice even where it violates code. Clark told the board that the location at 321 Hand Ave. has had that type of storage for 30 years.

The other two locations are 501 S. Nova Road and 509 S. Nova Road.

Because the vehicles are parked in car-size parking spots, they

are typically trailers, not large RVs. The Neighborhood Improvement Division, which issues code violations, is currently going through a list of about 20 possible similar violations. According to the meeting agenda packet, a similar violation was issued to a local storage facility, and the owner provided a list of other facilities that are storing boats and trailers in parking spots. It does not name the cited company.

Planning Director Steven Spraker said some of the storage places have been found to be in proper zoning and at least one has ceased that type of storage.

The Planning Board recommended approval for two of the lots because the parking there is behind walls or buildings, but said a masonry wall should be constructed at the 321 Hand Ave. site, because the parking at that lot is visible from the street.

The board members said Hand Avenue is mostly residential and getting more heavily traveled, so the aesthetics are important.

“This is almost the gateway to Central Park,” said board member Angeline Shull.

The motion by Shull to require a wall, as well as work with city staff on vegetation, was passed with Galloway voting no. Galloway said the owner should have the option to not build a wall if he parks the boats and trailers in the back of the facility in a spot not visible from the street.

All Aboard Storage is seeking a zoning change from Service

Commercial to Planned Business Development and a development order at its three facilities to continue storing boats and RVs. NEIGHBOR CONCERNS

Two complaints from neighbors came up during the audience comment portion of the meeting. One mentioned trash from 321 Hand Ave. blowing through the adjacent neighborhood, and another said water from the retention pond at 509 S. Nova Road floods a nearby yard.

“It’s nasty,” said Kevin Robinson, who lives across the street from 321 Hand Ave. He said he cleans up trash along the street after it blows from the lot.

Clark responded, saying the company will handle the trash problem.

“We’ll definitely get on it,” he said.

He said the facility expects customers to take trash with them after cleaning out their units, and board member G.G. Galloway suggested he get a small dumpster.

A neighbor of the facility at 509 S. Nova Road, John Cox, said the retention pond at the facility overflows into his lawn and swimming pool.

Spraker said city staff will come out and look at the pond problem.

Galloway said water flowing from one property to another is a problem that should be taken care of sooner rather than later.

“You can call me,” he said. “I’m going to take this on.”

ave Hartgrove remembers when driving around in the car would result in a bug-splattered windshield. These days, not so much.

Hartgove, an official with Halifax River Audubon for many years, was manning a booth at the Great Backyard Bird Count on Feb. 15 at the city’s Environmental Discovery Center in Central Park.

The longtime birder said that in 1993, he would hear so many chuck-will’s-widows, a nocturnal bird, that he couldn’t count them.

“Now it’s only a few,” he said.

“It’s because of the drop-off in insects.”

Nationally, it’s been reported recently that there has been a large decrease in birds, and Hartgrove has seen a similar decline locally. But he points out that some species, such as the ibis, have increased in population.

Fewer insects hitting windshields means less food for birds.

Melissa Lammers, also of Halifax River Audubon, said people can help by having native plants in their yard to attract insects, rather than tropical plants.

“Birds need insects to provide protein to their babies,” she said.

To find what plants are beneficial to insects and birds, visit Audubon.org/plantsforbirds.

Rob Bird, of Audubon, said people can just plant a small area, and don’t have to re-do the whole yard.

The Great Backyard Bird Count occurs over a four-day period each year to provide information for the Audubon Society, and the EDC has partnered with Audubon for the past three years. The first

year, there were 100 attendees and the second year there were 200, according to EDC Coordinator Duane Price, and he was expecting more this year.

Central Park is recognized as a stop-off point for migratory birds, Price said, and the lakes at Central Park attract a lot of waterfowl.

The bird counts help Audubon when talking to legislators about loss of habitat and other problems, said Steve Blackledge, who was helping visitors at one of the watch stations. He said he has noticed much fewer birds in recent years at the Merritt Island Wildlife Refuge.

Also at the event, bird experts took attendees for hikes. Joan Teague was leading a group when they stopped to see several different species.

“That’s the way birdwatching goes,” she said. “You’ll see a bird and then see a lot more. There’s safety in numbers.”

Taking part in the hike was Monique Morrella, who said she had started taking birdwatching lessons from Teague last fall.

“If we are to build a better world, we must remember that the guiding principle is this — a policy of freedom for the individual is the only truly progressive policy.”

A landowner seeks to divide a 25-acre parcel into five-acre lots.

WAYNE GRANT REAL ESTATE EDITOR

A property owner in the rural area west of Interstate 95 is requesting preliminary approval to subdivide a 25-acre tract at 519 Leeway Trail into five-acre lots. The property is zoned rural estate/agriculture, which allows a five-acre lot size.

Before the Feb. 13 Planning Board meeting, land owner Ruth Pellicer said she had no immediate plans for the lots, but may sell them some day.

Before the land could be developed for single-family homes, each lot would need a building

permit, which would require a stormwater plan and tree survey.

The acreage is in an area where residents have well water and septic tanks. According to meeting background material, no water or sewer would be extended by the city except in conjunction with an Assessment District, created at the discretion of the city.

Such a district would require a request from no less than half of the property owners.

The Planning Board recommended approval of the preliminary plat. It will go to the City Commission on March 17. A final plat will also require approval.

Three teens facing felonies after firecracker incident Volusia County Schools Superintendent Dr. Scott Fritz said the students will likely be expelled.

JARLEENE ALMENAS ASSOCIATE EDITOR

Three Mainland High School freshmen have been arrested for setting off firecrackers in a stairwell during the school’s lunch period on Thursday, Feb. 13, Daytona Beach Police reported.

DBPD reported that emergency calls came into Volusia County’s dispatch center indicating an active shooter situation at the high school at 12:32 p.m. Between 50 and 75 law enforcement officers from DBPD, Volusia County Sheriff’s Office, Volusia County Beach Safety and Ormond Beach Police responded, and it was quickly determined there was no shooter on campus, nor had a gun been shot.

Officers discovered the firecrackers inside a stairwell and were able to identify the students behind the incident. All are juveniles, DBPD reported. Volusia County Schools Superintendent Dr. Scott Fritz held a press conference at 4 p.m. to address the situation, saying that the School District will take “stern action” against the students, which are likely to be expelled in addition to the criminal charges.

DAYTONA BEACH POLICE: STUDENTS SAID FIRECRACKERS WERE A ‘TEST’ A 16-year-old student who posted a school shooting threat for Mainland High School on social media was arrested Daytona Beach Police, the agency reported on Friday, Feb. 14.

The threat said that Thursday’s firecracker incident was a “test to see how long it took the police to arrive,” and that the shooter was going to copy

“This is not funny,” Fritz said.

“This is something very severe.

This is something that caused a panic and they should be absolutely ashamed of themselves.”

Community Information Services Director Kelly Schulz said two messages were sent out to parents via voicemail and text messaging, letting them know of the initial lockdown and the allclear.

The school’s principal, staff and deputy acted quickly, Fritz said. Students were gathered and secured in classrooms, though some did run out the front of the school, a plausible reaction to thinking you’ve heard gunshots, he added.

Volusia County Schools is always looking at ways to improve security and student safety, which is why it recently hired Michelle

the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School shooting in Parkland that killed 17 people in 2018. Feb. 14 marks the second anniversary of the tragedy.

The student was a freshman at Mainland.

DBPD said it would have a strong presence around Mainland on Friday “as a precautionary measure to ensure the safety of everyone on campus.”

Newman, who is the new head of safety and security for Volusia County Schools.

“I think we’re doing everything we possibly can to keep our students safe and to be as proactive as we are,” Fritz said.

When asked about his thoughts on this incident occurring the day before the Parkland shooting’s second anniversary, the superintendent said he was concerned.

“It is certainly on our minds.

Feb. 14 means something different to educators than it did two years ago,” Fritz said.

DBPD said the three students will face a misdemeanor charge of disruption of a school function as well as a felony charge for bringing an explosive device onto school property.

CAT NOT THE CULPRIT 2:23 a.m. — 200 Block of South Center Street Disturbance. Police arrived at a house in response to a disturbance report and heard a female yelling inside. The woman who answered the door said she had been yelling at her cat. The officer noted that she appeared to be intoxicated.

Contact was then made with a male in the residence. He claimed to be paying rent, but the woman said he had broken in and she did not know he was living there.

Asked about his personal property in the room and some of his

clothes in the drier, she said he must have brought it in through the window.

Neighbors said they had seen the male going in and out for a couple of months, including taking out the garbage.

The officer advised the woman that it was a landlord/tenant issue and she would have to evict him.

The driver of the bike was wearing a helmet so a positive identification could not be made. The friend was listed as a suspect.

DISTRICT CHAMPS Bucs take down Ocala Forest for second straight district title

Mainland’s boys basketball team won its second straight district title on Feb. 14.

10 points and three assists — threw a pass to Sears on a fast break. Sears pulled up at the top of the 3-point line and swished it.

“I practice that shot every day,” he said. “We control our energy and effort. We go into every game with the mentality that we’re going to win.”

The Buccaneers move on to regionals. They host a still-tobe-determined team on Thursday, Feb. 20.

“That’s our house,” Sears said. “We don’t like losing at home, so it’s going to be tough for teams to try to go in there and beat us.”

RAY BOONE SPORTS EDITOR

When Mainland’s boys basketball team played Ocala Forest earlier this season, the Buccaneers barely survived on Ocala Forest’s home court, beating the Wildcats 58-53 on Jan. 22.

The Buccaneers faced the Wildcats again — this time in the Class 6A-District 4 title game, held the night of Friday, Feb. 14, at New Smyrna Beach High School.

No. 1 seed Mainland was fresh off a 73-49 win over No. 5 seed New Smyrna Beach two nights prior.

“Our coaches always preach doing the little things,” said Mainland’s Kenny Weatherspoon, who held Ocala Forest’s best player, Jake Charske, to 7 points. “That’s what we did tonight. We didn’t stop. The whole game.”

The Buccaneers’ defense was relentless against the No. 2 seed Wildcats, who at times had trouble crossing halfcourt without turning the ball over. The Buccaneers recorded 15 steals and forced 24 turnovers in a dominant 69-38 victory to claim their second district championship in a row.

“That’s Mainland basketball,” Buccaneers coach Joe Giddens said of Mainland’s tenacious pressure defense. “That’s the way I played. I’m just trying to bring it back.”

Mainland’s Taron Keith dribbles the ball up the court on a fastbreak.

The Buccaneers were led by senior point guard Jordan Sears, the team’s leading scorer, who tallied a game-high 23 points on 8-for-14 shooting. Sears also ripped down nine rebounds, dished out five assists, recorded three steals and blocked two shots.

QUILTERS TO HAVE PIECES ON DISPLAY AT OCEAN CENTER A member of the Racing Fingers Quilt Guild of Ormond Beach has two quilts accepted as semi-finalists in the American Quilting Society Quilt Week show in Daytona Beach, taking place the Ocean Center at 101 N. Atlantic Ave. from Feb. 26-29.

Terri Lynch’s first quilt is titled, “Accidents Happen, Don’t Quit, It Can Still Be Beautiful,” a burgundy quilt that was first started by Lynch in 2016.

It is a one-block pattern from Quiltmaker 100 blocks by “100 Designers Magazine,” according to a press release. The original block is called “Star Wash” by Peg Spradlin. After Lynch’s husband died in a small plane crash in 2018, she picked up the blocks she’d made and decided to finish the quilt.

The second quilt is a white star quilt titled, “Bonus Star,” made from bonus pieces salvaged from other projects,

according to the press release.

It is inspired by a quilt by Edyta Sitar.

Lynch is originally from Southern California. Her husband was in the U.S. Navy, and in 2013, the two moved to Daytona Beach, where her husband taught at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University.

Lynch is not the only RFQG member with a quilt in the show.

Monique Foley also has a quilt that was accepted as a semifinalist. Her pineapple quilt contains over 2,500 small pieces.

Foley, a native of Belgium, discovered quilting in 1985 after many years of knitting. In 1991, she entered a Baltimore Album Quilt in a Georgia State Fair and won Best of Show. The quilt was all done by hand.

GLOW 5K RAISES FUNDS FOR DOWNTOWN FIT LOOP IN ORMOND BEACH The Rotary Club of Downtown Ormond Beach’s second annual Glow 5K helped raised over $5,500 thanks to the race sponsors, volunteers and nearly 300 runners who participated.

The runners used blinkers and glow products to light the way during the moonlight run on the beach, according to a press release. The overall winners were: Hunter Phillips, Lee Kolias and Mario LaTorre for the men’s division; and Moriya Patsch, Lindsay Moore and J. Patsch for the women’s division.

This year’s presenting sponsor was AdventHealth Daytona

Beach, and the funds raised will benefit the Downtown Fit Loop project that will feature exercise equipment at each of the Granada Bridge’s four corner parks. The Club will gift the Downtown Fit Loop to the city.

ACLU HOSTING ESSAY CONTEST The American Civil Liberties Union of Florida Volusia/Flagler chapter is hosting its secondannual “Future Voters Essay Contest.”

As the ACLU is celebrating its 100th-anniversary, high school students throughout Volusia and Flagler counties are invited to write a 1,500-2,000word essay on this prompt: “Since 1920, the American Civil Liberties Union has vigorously fought for fundamental freedoms. Looking back on our 100-year history, which of the ACLU’s landmark cases has had the most significant impact on protecting your individual rights and liberties as guaranteed by the Constitution and laws of the United States?”

Four finalists will be selected, and each of them will receive two complimentary tickets for the ACLU’s 2020 annual meeting and banquet, to be held at the Halifax River Yacht Club at 6 p.m. March 29. The winner will be announced at the banquet, and will be awarded $100 and invited to read their essay, according to a press release.

Mel and Fran Cliff have opened Fran’s Interior Treasures.

Fran Cliff said. “The antiques and collectibles in our shop were someone’s treasure from yesteryear. Our mission is to preserve these treasures and to share some of our past.”

She explained that people retire to Florida and decorate the house with tropical décor, but often there is something they don’t want to part with.

“Now the person who buys it will have a treasure,” she said.

“They can take something special into their homes and pass on to their children.”

She researches the items and writes information on a tag so the buyer knows about the history.

She said when shoppers sort through the vintage china, crystal, furniture, lamps or dolls they are often reminded of their own past, saying their grandmother used to have a certain item, for example.

Cliff has always been a collector, starting with cherubs, birds and art. Her mother was an artist, and her father often took her to art museums in the Philadelphia area where she was raised. Her husband, Mel, studied humanities and history in college.

They’ve had careers other than collecting. She was in marketing and publishing, and he still works as a software engineer.

They own the space in the MBA Plaza, saying it’s an investment, and they wanted to get away from paying rent and commissions. They are pleased with their location, pointing out a nearby nail spa and Italian restaurant that bring traffic.
