Look Who’s DoingItLocal!
I was in #Bridgeport covering a story on Railroad Avenue near Park Avenue when I noticed the little strip mall next to Julio's Famous was open. I met with Mike from Isaac's Tires, the same Isaac's Tires at 178 Wood Avenue. Mike is a big fan of of DoingItLocal and he is looking in to advertising with us. They have new and used tires. The new store at 566 Park Avenue has been open for just a couple of days. I sure you will agree that they would make a great new addition to our site. We look forward seeing the specials in the future! How about a like for Mike?!
