In an economy in which bailouts are a constant topic of conversation and the closing of businesses is commonplace, opening a retail shop would not appeal to many people. However, for the team behind Napa’s newest secondhand store Twice is Nice, the timing couldn’t seem more appropriate.
“It’s a perfect time to open a secondhand store because the economy is still very tough, people are watching their budgets, and there are a lot of people who have good-quality items that they no longer have use for. Our store will give these items new life,” said Terri Pope, manager of Twice is Nice, the thrift store run by St. John the Baptist Catholic Church and School.

More than 200 St. John the Baptist Catholic School students, in their new jog-a-thon T-shirts designed by seventh-grader Caroline Stiver, came out to run at the Justin-Siena High School track on Friday, Oct. 8.
The atmosphere felt like an outdoor party, with music blasting and students, from kindergarten to eighth grade, and teachers sharing the track as they jogged, walked or danced around, earning money for their school.
Fourth-grader Devon Bose ran the most laps with 22. Overall, about 2,200 laps were completed in 45 minutes.
