• With the number of food/drink/other establishments that have closed in recent weeks, here are some good reminders. Small biz entrepreneurship is hard & risky, so we should appreciate those that take the leap to provide us with products & services. Give thought to spending your money at local small biz when you think about getting some food or drink or to treat yourself. Posting (or liking, sharing, commenting) about them to your friends via your socials and/or Google or Yelp reviews, help spread the word and make others think about going there. The above-mentioned Fargo Moorhead Eats group (first bullet) is a great for that.
