On a weather-perfect weekend afternoon in early November I strolled down Main
Street in Northport, soaking up the atmosphere. People were out in droves, chatting,
socializing, shopping and spending.
A small hubbub was happening outside 135 Main Street. Inside, Nest on Main was
marking its first anniversary. The store, a home décor outlet with a different kind of
business model, is winning over fans big time. A crowd had gathered for a ribboncutting
presided over by Northport’s exuberant village trustee and deputy mayor,
Tom Kehoe.
