Small Business Shout Out

Flip This Fairfield House!

Remember last week I told you about Basil Amso and how he flips homes?  Here is his latest project which will be done by mid May. The distressed home that was on this lot in the beautiful lake Mohegan section of Fairfield was knocked down and replaced with this incredible 3500 square foot high end new construction home. Call Basil Amso @ 203 209-3818 for more info.

Talk about a dream cake!

Small Business Shout Outs started when Danyella from Everything Sweet contacted me and told me that she bakes to make ends meet for her and her son.  She'd be happy to bake something for me if I would give her a shout out.  I thought about it and wondered how many other businesses are out there that could use a one time shout out.  I agreed and  told her that the freebie wasn't necessary, I was just happy to do it and help her out. Danyella wouldn't take no for an answer so I agreed she could bake a birthday cake for my daughter last week, she turned twelve.  She wanted a red velvet cake, I've had that in the…

I traded my trench coat in yesterday!

I received a message and a tease a couple weeks ago with DoingItLocal.com logo being sewn on something.  Kate Mucherino invited me to meet the crew at Safeguard/Langer Corporation.  They specialize in promoting your business in promotional item services, printing service, and screen printing .  they can get your company name on a wide variety of products, you can see some samples on the table in front of us.

I Was In Good Hands Today

I was in very "good hands" today as I visited the David Gonzalez Agency Inc. at 200 Connecticut Avenue in  Norwalk.  Christian Flores has been a big fan of DoingItLocal.com for a couple years now and wanted more information on adverting on our site.  I've been a customer of Allstate since 1974 (told you I'm old) so it was a good time for me to go over my auto and homeowner's policy.  I also added their auto club for just $37.50! Chrisitian was great at explaining what the different aspects of my policies, taking all the confusion of what is what and what is important. He gave excellent real world examples to make it easy to understand it.  It was…

The DoingItLocalMobile Needed A Battery Change!

Luck was on my side yesterday.  I needed a new battery and Rob from  Rescue All Roadside Inc. was nearby to help!   Here he is installing a new Interstate Battery.  Because I go running to news calls at all hours of the night to who knows where I needed the best, something outrageously reliable.!  What surprised me was the battery replaced was 7 years old, I'm very lucky it went when it did, batteries are usually good for 5 years.  Rob's Rescue All Roadside Facebook page is here...  His phone number is 203-212-3762.
