'A kind of buzz' downtown
Marcie Fenske moved to Kokomo six years ago when her husband got a job as a manager at a local retailer.
The couple bought the Pointy Pencil, an educational story store, two years ago when it was located in a strip mall. They recently moved the store downtown, getting a much better deal, to a bigger building with more character.
"There was a kind of buzz about our downtown," said Fenske, adding that sales are way up since they made the move. "When there's a festival in town, our store is flooded."
