“The reason I opened my business in Northampton is still the reason why I’m here. The city has a certain appeal. I saw it first in 1975, before Thornes opened. When I did move to Northampton, I opened on the second floor of Thornes Market on April 1, 1979. I had a wonderful view ⎯ instead of skyscrapers I could actually see the sky. I’ve been on Main Street for 32 years and have seen a lot changes. People and businesses have come and gone. In 1979 and 80 people dressed more formally. Now people dress more casually.”
Adams Jewelry has since closed.
