NEWS AROUND THE BLOCK!
Uptown Nutrition will have a proud new owner to begin 2015 - Dr. Dawn Reardon, ND! Suzy Carroll adds: "She's young, smart, kind and full of warmth and has the knowledge to take this store to the next level! I'm both happy and sad. This store has become a part of me, but it is time to let go so we may all flourish! The transition will take a few weeks and I look forward to thanking you personally for your kindness, patronage and uplifting and heartwarming conversations I've been blessed to have for ten years!" We wish Suzy the best on her new adventures and we welcome Dawn to Uptown!

Thank you for giving back to the community. Also a big thank you to Port Townsend Kiwanis Club, we truly appreciate your time and use of the Choo Choo!
