About

Local and independent businesses always outshine their corporate counterparts by catering to niche markets, creatively reaching select audiences and offering a higher quality of taste and enjoyment to their customers.

While the most recent economic downturn was devastating in terms of jobs lost and lives broken, independent entrepreneurs, grassroots movements and homegrown labors of love have emerged from the wreckage and thrived.

Inspired by the economic recovery of South Florida, through Miami’s burgeoning art scene in particular, and a collective repudiation of corporate dominance that can be felt nationwide, this modest patch of the blogosphere is intended to highlight the very best of local and independent businesses in Miami, South Florida and beyond.
