The price of doing business on Clematis Street is eternal vigilance — against street closures.
That’s the word from Penny Murphy, owner of Pioneer Linens, a longtime downtown West Palm Beach retailer at 210 Clematis St. “It’s like the sun comes up, and somebody closes the street,” Murphy said.
Every year, and particularly during the crucial holiday shopping season, Murphy has to be on guard for street closures in the 200 block.
