After 40 years of serving Monticello, @Bruce Wintersteen, DDS is officially retiring! 💙
Known for his goofy sense of humor and huge heart for the community, Dr. Wintersteen has made a lasting impact both in and out of the office. As a dedicated volunteer and supporter of downtown, we at Monticello Main Street are incredibly grateful for all he’s done over the years.
Thank you, Dr. Wintersteen — and welcome to Dr. Lauren Schall as she begins this next chapter serving our community! 👏
Downtown just got a little more caffeinated and a whole lot cooler..
We’re so excited to welcome Blend & Brew to the Monticello Main Street District, which opened yesterday at 309 N. Market Street (former Hardee's location). Owners Vaishali & Nish gave the building interior a HUGE glow-up - Be sure to stop by, say hello, and support another awesome local business bringing more energy into our downtown!
