Hi. I have a new Web site, dedicated to promoting locally owned, independent stores. Right now focus is southwest central Florida: Tampa, St. Petersburg, Gulfport, Sarasota, Lakeland, Bradenton, New Port Richey, etc.
But if you have a favorite store elsewhere, I'd love to link to it, too.

I want site to be as comprehensive as possible, so it's free to get listed: name, address, description, even map and link to store's own web site.

And artists, photographers, writers ... if you have a blog, we'll link to that, too.

And of course, site sponsors are mostly welcome!

Please check out www.localshops1.com and tell me what you think.
