A Big List - Local Businesses We Patronized in 2011

When we have the option to frequent a local business, we do.  Always.  We love walking the neighborhood, leaving our car in the garage, and supporting the small businesses that help make the Downtown Minneapolis Riverfront such a great place to live.

We spent the past week looking back on our activities throughout 2011 and came up with an 'A to Z' list of businesses we patronized in 2011 - all within walking distance of our Mill District home.  They're all worth checking out, so give them a try and support our community!
