Answered
Tuesday we asked, “What are your favorite small businesses to support in and around Indy?” and here’s what you said:
In case you didn’t know, Silver in the City is per friendly and even has treats ready for your pups.
“American Dream Nut Butter (located in Greenfield (warehouse)/Noblesville (coffee shop) - owned by Lea and Mark Hurley.” — Theresa N.
“My daughter Kayla’s business @radiant_skin_indy in Zionsville. Great small business and employees, especially her mom/my wife Michelle at the front desk. Thanks!” — Scot L.
Learning about Free Comic Book Day at the library reminded me of my favorite comic book or “graphic novel” series as a teen — the Baby-Sitters Club. In school, I loved the books by the same name and then when the author came out with graphic novels, I picked those up too. They were printed in black and white and I remember using them like coloring books.
