BY LORIE SETTLES Staff Writer MIDDLESBORO — A line of customers stretched down the sidewalk, in anticipation of the Grand Re-opening of Goody’s Family Clothing in Middlesboro. Local shoppers had lamented the loss of the establishment since it closed its doors in early 2009. Its return garnered the attention of more than three hun- dred customers, so excited to shop at the familiar retailer that some were waiting outside for more than an hour before the opening. Jim Ewing, the District Manager for the Middlesboro store and other near-by locations, was on hand to welcome back loyal customers. “We’re glad to be back in the community where we’ve been for a long, long, long time!” Ewing proclaimed.

LORIE SETTLES/Middlesboro Daily News A historic building in downtown Middlesboro has been renovated to house apartments that offer new convenience and scenic views of Cumberland Avenue.
MIDDLESBORO — As efforts continue to resurrect the charm of downtown Middlesboro of old, business leaders like Larry Grandy are working to restore the use of original buildings. Two years ago, Grandy remodeled the historical structure on the corner of Cumberland Avenue and 20th Street, the former home of Middlesboro’s National Bank. The building now serves commercial and residential needs, as does his latest enterprise, located across the street. Spacious apartments now occupy the top floors of the building on Cumberland Avenue, next to the Farmer’s Market. “The building was built in 1908, it was originally the Middlesboro Pharmacy. It went through some changes over the years and additions were put into it,” said Grandy. In September of last year, the building came up for sale and Grandy bought it and began renovations. On the ground floor, com- mercial space, let to a gold buyer, sits in the front of the building. An apartment divides the business from the garages in back. Only one apartment is currently vacant in the building. Each apart- ment on the second and third floor has approximately 2,000 square feet of living space, with 2 bedrooms, 2 1/2 bathrooms, and a utility closet for a washer/dryer unit. Ceramic tile furnishes the kitchen, bathrooms, and entry ways. Each unit is equipped with all new appliances, and the ceilings of the apartments were kept at the original height of ten feet. Grandy said that the third floor had not been renovated since it was built over 100 years ago. “It still had the windows in it that looked out into the hallway, the original cast iron bathtub was up there, the original kitchen sinks were up there, all the windows were still in the building,” he said. As a member of Discover Downtown Middlesboro, Grandy hopes that more people will invest in maintaining the historical architecture of the town. A TERRIBLE THING HAPPENS WHEN YOU DON’T ADVERTISE.
