A walk around downtown

 With the desire to support the local community, I thought It would be most beneficial to take a trot around the downtown area to meet the local buisnesses where I would purchase my products from.

The sun was pounding down and the walk was amazing. The colors and the life was so inspiring. On three street corners, different people were playing instruments, that really set a certain mood, and the local bakery smells, swarm the street.

Croissants, cookies, espresso, wow the smells made my stomach growl. Around the corner I find the "Seafood Shop," where I learn that they will bring in specialty items with a little notice. Further down around another corner I walk into a meat market. Finally, now I know where to get the ingredients that I need to make my sauces and some delicate dishes. This walk the downtown around was totally worth it. Finding out just what I can offer to my clients and getting to know the local suppliers face to face was an experience that I was looking forward to. Its always a great idea to have a personal relationship with them, they are the experts, so learn from them.
