AADL Talks To: Sharon McRill, former Borders Employee and Owner of Betty Brigade

Sharon McRill
Sharon McRill

In this episode, AADL Talks To Sharon McRill. Back in the 1990s, Sharon spent several years with Borders. There she served as a new media liaison when DVDs and games on CD were new technologies, interviewed celebrities, and helped build the first Border’s website. After the first round of Border’s layoffs left her wondering what to do next, she decided to start her own business helping people clean and organize, move, and more. Sharon talks about the evolution of the Betty Brigade from its early years to the thriving business it is today.

Sample Signs: These two signs — a large one (top) and a much smaller one (bottom) — on businesses on W. Stadium Blvd. are part of the "demonstration sign" display being prepared by the Chamber of Commerce to indicate what size signs would be permissable [sic] under the proposed sign ordinance and what they would look like to passing motorists and pedestrians. Of several signs to be placed at various business places, there were only the two completed this morning.
