MAKING LEMONADE OUT OF A DETOUR

Those who need to travel along Route 340 near Harpers Ferry will need some patience, and maybe a sense of humor too.  Charles Town downtown businesses are doing their best to embrace the 35-minute detour with a campaign called “Embrace your Third Place.”  Your third place is somewhere that is not home, but you can make feel like home, some place where you are going to spend some extra time.  The road work along Route 340 gets underway in the next week, and the detour will be in place well past Thanksgiving.
