The following content is a collaborative effort between Seminole Heights Patch and the businesses of Seminole Heights. By producing a digital version of the Eat, Drink & Shop Local Guide, we hope to share the information among even more people in Seminole Heights. According to the Eat Drink and Shop Local guide:
“Eat Drink & Shop Local” is an effort to build awareness of the importance to support locally owned business, no franchises or big box retailers. Our goal is simple: To change our buying habits and unite us as a community by combining our greatest resources. We have local customers and local brick & mortars, thus we can enjoy what our local small businesses offer. We then not only strengthen our local economy, but experience and taste what you can only find in Seminole Heights.
