New Boutique Brings the 'Posh' to Second Street

 

Main Street Macon will host the grand opening for Posh Boutique today at 2:00 p.m. at 314 Second Street. Owner, Nicole Talton, started the business at the Macon Indoor Flea Market and quickly saw a need to expand to a storefront location. After researching different areas of the city, Talton and her daughter chose Downtown because of the ongoing revitalization and the plans for the Second Street Corridor. “I feel like we got in at the right time,” says Talton.

Posh Boutique carries clothing, handbags and accessories. “Our goal is to provide unique fashions that are different from what larger fashion chains carry. We want every woman who shops with us to feel ‘Posh’,” says Talton.

Hutchings Culinary Students Prepare Caribbean Cuisine for Teachers

Hutchings Career Center Culinary students are wrapping up the school year by preparing theme meals for teachers.

Last week, the students took on a Jamaican theme. The meal included an entree of Jerk Chicken along with Coconut Rice and Black Beans as sides. Teachers were served tea or lemonade and chocolate chip cookies for dessert.

Culinary students delivered the meals to each teacher while filling the hallways with sounds of Jamaica's world- famous Reggae tunes from their iPads.

Chef Ray Garrison said the students have worked hard all year and earned the opportunity to have some fun.

The Culinary students also prepared dinner for members of the External Review Team from AdvancED Accreditation when they visited the District.
