Downtown Kings Moun- tain seems to be on the right track, but just as the City of Shelby Mayor Ted Alexan- der told those at the confer- ence, this is a long journey. The conference started on Wednesday afternoon with “The Shelby Story”. The city said it was “never easy for Shelby”. The “great fire” of 1979 made ashes and rubble out of a few buildings. A new shopping mall set up shop in the 80s. But he said that Shelby reinvented itself in the face of challenge. Downtown communities and cities across the state, and even the nation, are tackling their own unique challenges and each down- town has a different story to tell.
