3Grove City Area Chamber Community Guide Vol. VI 2015-2017 Dear Friends Typically the term crossroads conjures up an image of two intersecting streets. In choosing to create this sixth edition of the Grove City Area Chamber of Commerce Community Guide around the concept of crossroads we felt it was fitting for many reasons not the least of which is our unique location. Many of Grove Citys stories begin with a family farm established by ancestors who settled here because of the easy access from all directions. Such was the case for founding fathers attorneys Miff McBride his father and grandfather who helped develop several significant community assets including our schools and hospital. Today our prime location near the crossroad of interstates 79 and 80 remains one of the deciding factors behind new businesses coming here including Lamb Webster says owner Bob Lefrancois. On another level Grove City Medical Center which recently earned accreditation as a Level IV Trauma Center has moved the crossroads of health care for the patients of our community through enhanced standardization and collaboration with other hospitals. Then there are those individuals who have been at a crossroads in life such as Marcy Covert who took a huge leap of faith and has successfully cultivated a community of powerful compassion for yoga in Grove City. And businesses like Grove City Realty which could have closed when owner Rock Puntereri died but for his longtime friend and colleague Georgie Hodge who took the helm and committed to keeping it open. We hope you enjoy reading these stories which are a small sampling of many others worthy of sharing. And we encourage you to patronize our generous advertisers and members for without their support this magazine would not be possible. Sincerely Beth Black Beth Black Executive Director Grove City Area Chamber of Commerce
