Downtown Aberdeen is fast becoming the new center for welcoming visitors to the Hub City. Malchow Plaza is underway as the construction workers build towards completion. But across the street, a new art visual has been installed at the McQuillen Building. In the style of a large letter postcard, citizens and visitors of Aberdeen who make the trip up Main Street are greeted by the new signage “Greetings from Aberdeen”. The new stretched canvas, which measures 14’ x 8’, adds an extra dose of Aberdeen flair to the downtown sector. Each letter was personally designed by Aberdeen native Troy McQuillen and features an iconic Aberdeen sight. Stop by 423 South Main Street to see the new billboard and even take your picture in front of it for a chance to win $500 (see page 4). // – Karlie Spiry
