Main Street Monday · This Week: Elm Street, Westfield
Inside Westfield's Elm Street, where five new businesses opened this spring.
A block and a half, seven minutes end to end, and as of last Tuesday — five businesses that weren't there in January.
We spent the morning walking it. Here's what the street looks like right now, and what the next two openings mean for downtown Westfield.
Coming next Monday: Cranford Avenue, Cranford.
