The Meeting Place on Market along with Shop for Good held a Christmas in July event. Not only was there Christmas music, but there were also Christmas Cookies, Christmas Shopping, and Christmas ornament making to be had. The stores saw dozens of people coming out to spread a little joy after a long year and a half of pandemic restrictions. It also gave a chance for people to see what changes have been made at the Meeting Place.

Partners in the Legacy Arts collective spoke with the Lima Rotary Club about the progress that they've made on their location on Main Street. Back on September 23rd, Shop for Good officially took up half of the floor space at Alter Ego Comics as part of the plan to create a space for the arts in Lima to come together under one roof. Rustgaze Records and The Meeting Place are also part of the partnership. A recording space for Rustgaze Records is in the works for the building. Once the first floor is completed, Legacy Arts will be looking at working on the rest of the space on the upper floors.

Alter Ego Comics will no longer be moving locations, but things will soon look different at their Main Street store. Alter Ego is partnering with The Meeting Place and Shop for Good, as well as Rustgaze Records to bring a unique shopping experience to the Lima area. Shop for Good will take up half of the current Alter Ego floor space, with a coffee kiosk by The Meeting Place. Building owner Marc Bowker says they hope to add a small performance venue at the back of the building along with studio space for Rustgaze but are still in still in the planning stages at this time.
