Saturday was the grand opening of the Computer Doctor at 1134 Post Road across from Cumberland Farms.  Owner Patrick Demaille says the Computer Doctor will do complete diagnostics on all PCs and Macs right down to the circuit level if need be.

Look Who’s DoingItLocal!

Jun 11, 2014 Stephen Krauchick

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?!

Marine Batteries Explained- Cranking or Deep Cycle?

May 19, 2014 Alex

A Cranking Battery is one that will give you a large burst of current in a short time like starting the boat's engine. A Deep Cycle Battery is one that will give you a low amount of current for long periods of time like trolling (not to be confused with internet trolling). Larry at Interstate Batteries at 125 Holland Avenue in Bridgeport has many marine batteries in stock including hard to find ones.  Larry will be happy to answer any question you have.  You can call him at 203-368-2300.

Cleaning Up In Seymour

May 2, 2014 Alex

It was a pleasure meeting Nuno at the Washing Machine at 11 First Street in Seymour the other day.  He was very proud to show off his laundromat and showed me how his stands out from all the rest.  One of the first things I noticed was how clean and bright the place was. I forgot how laundromat machines can save you time by doing multiple loads at the same time.  He has one machine that you can do TEN loads at the same time!  Just in time for the college kids returning home soon. If you want to save the most time doing the laundry have them do it for you.  They offer a wash/dry/fold service.  Heck I don't…

DoingItLocal Is Getting Millerized

May 2, 2014 Alex

It was great meeting Gregg and Kyle Miller from Miller Nissan.  They are thinking outside the box as they said and looking to advertise with us!  I can personally vouch for the credibility of the dealership when a couple years ago my 90 year old father in law wanted to purchase a new car.  Another dealership tried to do a bait and switch on him and I said let's try Miller.  I didn't tell them who I was and they treated him with great respect, even thanking him for serving in WWII.  The paid attention to every detail to the sale including adding WICC to the preset on his radio! There is always an owner on scene to ensure the…

Old School Customer Care At Unity Pharmacy in Fairfield

Apr 29, 2014 Alex

Last week I met with Naga Mulpuri, the owner/pharmacist at Unity Pharmacy  at 1326 Post Road in Fairfield.  Before I met with her my first impression on the phone was the warmth she conveyed, it was confirmed when I met her in person.  She was genuine and the real deal like the old time pharmacies that you can't get with  big box pharmacies today. Naga has more than seven years of experience, five years at a national chain before working for an independent store.  She told me that most independent stores combine their purchasing power to keep prices competitive.  As an independent she is not tied down by corporate policies.   Free delivery in the area, blister/bubble pack packaging so it is…

Picking Up My Printing Job at Copy Break

Apr 22, 2014 Stephen Krauchick

Elaine and her crew at Copy Break did an outstanding job producing our media kits!  The printed materials we leave behind with clients are a representation of who we are.  I've been using the same media kit for over a year and when I dropped it off I could not believe how many typos they found!  You will NOT get this level of service with online services because they will just print it as they receive it. The staff at Copy Break is very friendly and helpful.  Whether you need copies of your resume or wide format copies like blueprints Copy Break at 1406 State Street can handle all your printing needs.  Call them at 203-367-3032.
