Weekly Recommendation
This week’s recommendation is to check out the free local guides here on Eddie’s List (volunteering, farmers markets, free movies via library, recycling, gift ideas, walking groups, neighborhood groups, marketing tips for local businesses, independent newspaper lists & more). I routinely update them based on interest, feedback from the community. One guide in particular “places with comfortable seating,” originated from a reader request here, and I am more than happy to research valuable sources for the community, especially if they benefit underserved communities. If you have suggestions, use the contact form above.
