Why you'd want to live in Hillsboro

The ‘uptown’ area, named that way because all the streets lead up to the center of town, has a wide variety of shops and services for residents and visitors alike. A drugstore is centrally located and still boasts the tin ceilings installed in 1895. Along the main streets of High and Main are an appliance store, health food store, beauty shops, cosmetic shop and bakery. Even a shoe repair existed for many years on S. High Street that had been in the same location since the early years of the town. Antique and collectable shops also line the streets for bargain hunters and collectors as well as restaurants featuring local foods and home cooking. For the weekend traveler or resident Hillsboro has a lot to offer both “uptown” and in other parts of town with lumber supplies, farm supply stores, larger grocery stores and restaurants along the Harry Sauner Road and North High Street corridor. Hillsboro is a city where you can enjoy a holiday parade, activities by various non-profit groups or the Hillsboro Uptown Business Association (HUBA), an occasional festival with live entertainment and street vended food in an old hometown setting. via hillsboroohio.net
