Beaumont-Wilshire Neighborhood Assn.

A Big Welcome to “Foot Traffic”

Nov 21, 2000

By Janet Baker

Beaumont is a great neighborhood for those of us that like to use our feet as a mode of transportation. Now we have a local business to help us do just that. In October, John Dimoff and David Pietka opened Foot Traffic, a new shop located at 41st and Fremont (in the site vacated by Video Chest). They carry walking and running shoes and sports apparel for men and women. They also sell baby joggers and a variety of sports accessories (heart rate monitors, watches, etc.) John and David also stock an extensive array of fitness books and periodicals and a comfortable sofa to use while you peruse these books.

They hope their store will serve as a magnet for active people in our neighborhood. At 9 a.m. every Saturday, walkers and runners can meet at the store for a group run (or walk). Once a month they will have clinics on various exercise and health topics. Look at the reader board on the Fremont side to learn of upcoming clinics. The store also provides a community bulletin board for posting garage sale notices, requests for walking partners, etc.

You can check out the latest edition to the Beaumont business community Monday through Friday 11:00?–7:00, Saturday 10:00?–6:00 and Sunday 12:00?–5:00. They can be reached at 503-284-0345.
