You need to know that we are big lovers of our biz and art communities. It just comes natural and we hope you show love where you can. It takes a lot to make a business really work, ya know?
The Overcast is the downtown almanac we pick up and turn to for what’s happing in the A1C and beyond. Recently they did a survey of best of’s and we wanted to take a sec to throw bouquets to a few brands we love:

And then, there’s us who placed for Best Aesthetically Pleasing Design House. Very well Perfect Day – you may have won this round, but I think there’s still something I like to call “the swimsuit competition”. I kid. 😉
There’s nothing better then to see so many hard working local businesses and their dedicated teams find their way into the hearts and minds of our local supports.
With a big-box-threat on the rise, we need to remember how important our small business community is. CFIB has a great national initiative called Small Business Saturday. Learn more about it 🙂
