    3.10 - The Main Thing, Part One
    Jun 1 2025
    For over a century, Grapevine Main Street has been synonymous with small-town charm. The very mention of our authentic historic district conjures images of brick buildings, festival crowds, and a single broad street surrounded by humble structures. Now, visitors are more likely to have a different view in mind: the combination rail station, hotel, and public gathering space known as Grapevine Main.

    This is Part One of our miniseries on the City's iconic new Public-Private Partnership:

    00:00-03:35... what Places mean to us
    03:36...06:35... from ugly lot to landmark status

    3.8 - The Party Never Ends
    Mar 1 2025
    Visitor spending fuels Grapevine's economy, especially in the Historic District. The reliable stream of customers drawn to the area by its authentic charm and special events is a key factor in Small Business success. And it's easy to see why: festival days and seasonal activations accounted for every one of the Top 20 busiest days in this strategic neighborhood last year... but most vendors in the area have learned not to depend on those surges for long-term success. Let's talk about what they do instead.

    Here's what we're serving up:

    00:00-04:43... welcome to GrapeFest
    04:44-08:39... the core elements in every successful business
    08:40-10:25... inside Giddens Art Gallery on festival day
    10:26-14:05... Hip Pop's double-storefront approach
    14:06-16:15... the electromagnetic theory of customer retention
    15:16-18:05... an indie bookstore's unrelenting commitment to community engagement
    18:06-20:06... what happens to an auto shop when the streets are closed?
    20:07-22.40... doing business the old-fashioned way
    22:41-24:51... why volunteering is good for any Grapevine business, regardless of location
    24:52-27:16... the invisible, essential benefit of community events
    27:17-28:52... the party doesn't stop when the festival ends
