Love in bloom, but not the weather
Couples may have chosen to stay home and watch movies on Valentine's Day, but some local businesses kept their doors open. Vivien Martin drove from her home in West Taghkanic, Columbia County to her Candy Bouquet shop in Red Hook Wednesday morning. "I figured it would be worth it if I got even one customer," she said. However, two hours after her dangerous drive, no one had come into her shop, on what should have been one of Martin's busiest days. "I have really beautiful bouquets but if people don't come in, they don't see them," she said. Florist shops rearranged deliveries, pushing them up a day, but still saw some foot traffic Wednesday. Some restaurants closed while others remained open only to see reservations canceled. Carole Cappillino's store, The Lollipop Tree Flower Shop on Lincoln Avenue in the City of Poughkeepsie, was busy.
