We talk about what it means to be an engaged and informed voter, and share our frustrations about local politics. And then we talk about what gives us hope, because some days that's all we have.

Businesses We Love - Part 1

We own businesses, so we are naturally fond of other small business owners. McMinnville is a unique place to own a business, and if you are lucky enough to find a spot downtown, it can create magic. Join us as we talk with two downtown business owners, Jen Feero of La Bella Casa, and Bruce LaVerne of The Vortex about how they found themselves on 3rd Street. We plan on exploring this topic every few months, so this is Part 1 of Businesses We Love.
