Last October, in the blissful days before any of us had ever heard of COVID-19, the DVBA instigated the City of Victoria’s first proclaimed “Small Business Month.” Throughout October 2019, with the help of our amazing summer students, we wrote over 25 blog posts about owners of downtown Victoria’s small businesses. Here is a roundup of those posts, with a few removed due to the businesses’ closing since they were written.
