Where To Find The Perfect Gift and Avoid the Mall, Part 1 (of 5)

           The Avenue of Glendora Village offers so much to Christmas gift-shoppers. One could say the Village is an open-air shopping mall, but its stores offer one-of-a-kind gifts and unparalled customer service you’d never find at a typical mall.

            Normally “Word on the Avenue” publishes on Mondays and Fridays, but each day this week we’ll offer suggestions to help you complete Christmas shopping in Glendora Village.
