Cool Digs on West Union St. has officially closed due to construction on the Lostro building. The construction has resulted in the sidewalk on that side of the street to be closed since August, forcing people to the other side of the street. Due to this, the traffic to three businesses was almost nonexistent, forcing them to shut down. Owner of Cool Digs, another small business owner and an Athens Resident express their frustrations about the closing of small businesses due to construction.
