Main Street Business Featured on MDBizMedia

Despite the reports that Main Street was closed during last September's  and the resulting floods, many businesses remained open. 

“People were waiting in the store for the roads to clear,” said Caitlin Mullet, who was working at during the storm. The Tiber River flows directly underneath the store and when it rose, Mullet said, employees and customers could hear tree limbs banging on the underside of the building as they were swept towards the Patapsco.

Though it wasn’t all business as usual, other stores remained open too, including Insight 180, a small consulting and design firm on Main Street.

Recently featured on the Department of Business and Economic Development’s MDBizMedia, the company’s as-it-happened documentation was a hit on the Internet.

The company's office was ruined and the business relocated for a month but, cofounders Wendy Baird and Chris Quinn say, there was little doubt they’d move back to Ellicott City.

“It’s a place of great inspiration,” Baird told MDBizMedia. “That stream” – the one that destroyed their office --  “Even provides inspiration on good days,” she added.
