Ice This Time :: Retail Therapy Guide 2/5/2022

Did you venture outside or on the roads today (Friday)?. The sheet of ice made it difficult! Several places were closed as Beacon's plows were out and Central Hudson worked to restore power to over 50,000 customers (several in Ulster County, read more about it here). The strip of stores that house Beacon Dental and Sal's Pizza was open (orthodontist appointments show no mercy! but pizza after is nice) and the mail got delivered. Because it's Black History Month every day, we have added 3 new Black Owned Businesses to A Little Beacon Blog's Business Directory: Max's Fade & Shave Barbershop, Speechless New York Auto Detail, and Zhane's Palette Studio. Read more about them here! You can add your business at any time at different price-points as a sponsor of A Little Beacon Blog. People love coming to this directory to find who they should hire!   THE EVENTS + RETAIL THERAPY GUIDE Book an Event Promotion Advertising spot here.
