Carrie Green Evans, the owner of Maggie Mae’s, a new clothing and furniture consignment store in downtown Fort Payne, loves this area. Carrie is from Birmingham, but has lived all over, including Camden, South Carolina, Selma, Savannah, Georgia, Los Angeles, California, and Trussville.

But, of all the places she’s lived, she settled here in beautiful Fort Payne. She is a graduate of the Savannah College of Art & Design and has been a professional graphic designer since 1999.
