November 24 is Small Business Saturday, a “holiday” which encourages shoppers to patronize small, brick and mortar businesses. To celebrate SBS, the CCA is spotlighting one of the longest-running retails shops in Canton, 2910 on the Square.

2910 on the Square, established in 1999, is a unique retail shop featuring a wide variety of gifts, works by local artists, and many one-of-a-kind handmade crafts. The shop, located at 2910 O’Donnell Street, is woman-owned and operated by Canton resident Stephanie Fleishman. Stephanie, a Milwaukee transplant, has called Baltimore home for 28 years. She has 2 canine helpers, Winston and Ella Bella, who are crucial to selecting the stock, especially the pet toys. And, the customers love to visit with them, too. Here’s a glimpse into our recent chat with Steph.

Included are the CCA Public Meeting Minutes from Tuesday, September 25th, 2018.
