Local Merchant Helps
Posted by: kaddoz on: February 2, 2010
“A small local merchant, in the Westfield Sarasota Square mall offered several models of “checkpoint friendly” briefcases. What won me over what the pleasant, conversational approach of the store’s owner. We chatted about the issues business travelers now face. He took the time to show me the features of all of the products that met my requirements and even offered to beat the online price offered by one of the websites.
I enjoyed working with this merchant and may have unintentionally done something good for the community. The store owner made a point to tell me that local purchases return more money to the local community than do online purchases. I guess that is something good to know if the community is suffering due to today’s economy.” Read more here.
Visit The neighborhood

An architecture , friendships, relationships, a community , those are the ideas of Hayes Valley neighborhood in San Francisco. Here the local businesses are well represented by a wealth of restaurants, shops, and often high-end furniture and clothing stores. In this part of the city , you can have a very sophisticated experience or a simple one . Whether you buy a pair of italian shoes or a natural burger, you will always have a qualitative experience. Plus, throughout the weekends , Hayes hosts various street events that create a very lively atmosphere.
Quality Over Quantity
Posted by: kaddoz on: January 31, 2010
Quality over quantity ; this could be our motto at kaddoz . Wine purchasing is a good example , there are many options on the shelves of our supermarkets. However , not everyone will recognize a good wine from a bad one . There are so many options; one can choose a wine from California or Chile , Europe , South Africa or Australia . For sure prices help in that matter . One must know that it is not possible to find a good wine , for $2 only. In my opinion, it simply does not exist .We all have different tastes of course, but when it comes to headaches , I think we are almost all on the same page. I usually buy wine at big stores like Trader Joe’s or at local groceries . Delight yourself with a healthy glass of wine.
