Art shop move makes way for intimate apparel boutique

When Art on Broad moved a few doors down, Ashley Gardner opened shop in their former location at 1028 Broad Street in Augusta on May 25th.

Business Lunch Review: Another Broken Egg Café

Food Quality: 4 Service: 5 Business Meeting: 4 Value: 4 Overall Rating: 4.25 out of 5 Before I began writing restaurant reviews, I typically ate at the same restaurants over and over, but I can now step outside of my culinary comfort zone.

CSRA Pick-up Meal market set to close

It was an idyllic setting for a new business. A tree-lined street in North Augusta filled with houses built in the 1930’s and 40’s. Businesses line the streets including a realtor’s office, a staffing agency, a hair salon, and a boutique.
