Episode 30: Main Street Monday: Carrollton, TX

For our next Main Street Monday tour, we visit the downtown area of Carrollton, TX. This is a beautiful downtown area with a terrific town square, gorgeous artwork, and some really tremendous retailers. Carrollton has experienced a lot of growth over the last few decades and its downtown is working to keep up with that change. Despite this, I loved the area as well as the retail stores and the retail owners that I was able to meet.

Today's episode takes us to the fun and whimsical town of Circus City, USA. Baraboo, WI, is where the Ringling Brothers founded their famed circus, and the city has leaned into the love that this brings them. Some retail stores in Barbaoo bring you the circus, and others make you feel a part of their home.
