Three tips for keeping more money in your neighborhood.
The old saying, “Cherish what you have, before it’s gone” is true in love, but also true in business. If you don’t spend money where you live, the companies closest to you will either go out of business or move to where the money is. It’s unfortunate that within some industries there will not be an urban owned establishment to support. When that is the case you should to pick a company that is rooted close to where you live.

We searched online and noticed that East Tennessee didn’t have a centralized list of businesses that supported our communities. There wasn’t a list of companies or professionals that we could turn to for specialized urban care. Where were the companies that carried products for my skin type? Where were the restaurants and bars that played the music that we loved? Driving around it was easy to find a Salon or Bar-B-Que spot. Finding a Dentist, Realtor, Locksmith or Doctor was difficult. Then what about the online […]
