Meet the Board Meet the Greater Lake Placid Chamber of Commerce Board Secretary, Kim Miller. In 1984 she moved to Lake Placid from California to help her ailing grandmother. She has served on the board since 2006 and has been the secretary for 11 of those years. Kim is always quick to jump in and help with anything that may need to be done, and she is our go to person for anything involving decorating, where she certainly excels. In her spare time, Kim enjoys reading and cooking, but most especially spending time with her 3-year-old grandson, Weston. Kim is a joy to work with, and we look forward to many more years of working closely with her at the Chamber.

Let’s shine our spotlight on Main Street America. Owned and operated by Mr. & Mrs. Shawn Larkin, this restaurant has been a cornerstone of Lake Placid for 35 Years! They employ 15 people and are open from 7-2 Wednesday thru Friday and serve breakfast on the weekends. Located at 15 South Main Avenue, their signature dish is the Chicken Salad Croissant, but a lot of people who come through the Chamber comment on the HUGE Banana Split’s that they have enjoyed. In 1986, fresh out of college, Mr. Larkin says “I wanted to reside in Lake Placid. The restaurant was a spur of the moment idea, but it turned out to be a good choice!” Main Street America Pre-Fire, 2009. When asked what is something that makes this business different from other businesses in our area, he said “We try everyday to be reasonably priced, clean and efficient. Anybody can cook at home, so we try to offer a good experience worth the effort of coming through our doors. Even though strong headwinds are approaching small businesses in the near future, it is up to the owner’s entrepreneurial spirit to navigate rough waters. We have survived for 35 years by being determined and flexible owners.” That strong entrepreneurial spirit helped them make it through when a fire damaged the restaurant in 2009, they persevered, and we are so glad that they did. Here is to another 35 years in Downtown Lake Placid for Main Street America! Stop in and give them a try. Tell them the Chamber sent you!‡ Main Street America Today. 7
