Think Global, Shop Local! You can save money, gas, time and be "green" just by shopping in your own neighborhood. Find out about all of the great businesses just around the corner in the NorthWest Minneapolis Business Association Directory. Pick up a copy at a local business or call 612-703-9609. You can also find it at www.nwmplsbusiness.com.
While you are dashing around the Camden area, make sure and take time out to see what's happening at Penn Avenue and Lowry now that road construction is finally done. There you'll find some great places to shop and soon you can even have a Subway sandwich while you are in the neighborhood. After all of the road construction, the local businesses could use some community support! Drop in at Aldi's or the Family Dollar Store, and don't forget for those last minute fixes and gifts, North End Hardware is there to help. Too much holiday stress giving you a pain in the neck? Stop in and see Dr. Olson's new offices. All this is just steps away; leave your car parked while you finish up your errands.
Noticed any changes lately at the Camden Physicians Clinic? A new phone system and a new computer system for medical records is just the beginning. North Memorial Hospital has purchased the Camden Physicians Clinic. More changes are sure to follow...
This holiday season may take a bit more creativity as we are all pinching pennies. What better way to enjoy this time of year than to check out all of the wonderful activities (most are free!) at the Holiday on 44th event - and get some holiday shopping in at the arts and crafts fair. Come and celebrate the season with your neighbors and friends, and maybe even make a few new ones. It's a great way to show your support for our community businesses and organizations, and have fun! For a full schedule of Holiday on 44th events see page 7.
