On Concrete Shelves tells the story of a community of families and their friends as they navigate the constant change of a bustling city named Stone Creek. Will they be able to hold onto the traditions of this once small sleepy city... or will their triumphs be the catalyst to it's destruction? A series originally debuted in April of 2010... On Concrete Shelves has found it's footing once again...
There’s a frosty cold front lingering in the valley — pulled eastward at some point from the western shoreline. This crispy October morning is something James Thurlow is only familiar with from his youth; as of recent years, the frost has been kept at bay until early November. He hesitates at the doorway of his home, wondering if he should turn around to retrieve another, warmer layer but instead decides to risk it and heads straight for his truck instead. His usual longer routine to admire the sherbet colors of dawn quickly abandoned.
The drive from his home, which sits in one of the oldest neighborhoods in Sage Gardens, to the densely populated Now Town is a pretty straightforward drive. Luckily for James, his great-grandfather bought property just off a road that has somehow become a vein that connects both districts. This gives him the option to stop off at the Lumber Mill, which these days has become almost second nature. Especially since he had gone so long without making it a habit.
Leaving his wife, Caitlyn, tucked into the warmth of their bed, James turns the ignition to his truck and begins his day.
