Editor’s note: When you’re driving, biking or walking around in downtown Ukiah do you often look over at a storefront and say to yourself “Gee, I didn’t know that was there.” Well, so do we. So we thought we’d start a kind of business census by photographing and identifying downtown businesses block by block, week to week, here on the Commerce Page. It's nothing fancy, just a quick look at what’s there. Of course it will take us some time to go through State, School and Main streets and then up and down Perkins, Gobbi and other streets. And that's just within the city limits. But we figure, like painting the Golden Gate Bridge, when we’re done, we’ll just have to start over. We hope you’ll enjoy discovering what’s out there.
