Cody grew up running around downtown Jonesborough and thinking it would be fun to own a shop. He just did not know what kind. He ended up flying airplanes for a while, working in a flower shop, and deciding to open his own store. He runs First Class Floral Design and is the treasurer for Jonesborough Area Merchants and Service Association.
“I think it means being progressively traditional. It’s as simple as that. Progressively traditional. We’re a type of people in Appalachia that really hold tight to our values, and really hold tight to our customs, and hold tight to traditional aspects of every bit of what we’ve grown up experiencing. But I think there’s still progress to be made, even with those values.”
