Hank Parfitt and his wife opened City Center Gallery on Maxwell Street in 1999. The bookstore and art gallery is now on Hay Street. The Downtown Alliance was incorporated as a nonprofit organization in 2000, with Parfitt as president. The alliance has since been a driving force in helping revitalize downtown, both economically and image-wise. Some of the things he's helped "get done" include the annual Glory Days celebration, Dickens Holiday and the annual Lafayette birthday celebration.
