As an entrepreneur and small business owner I often find myself in conflict feeling comfortable with large corporations. I remember looking into a Sam’s Club membership about five years ago and walking out of the store when they offered, as part of their ”Small Business Membership” to provide me a free website package.

I saw the Zombie Apocalypse post in my Facebook news feed this morning and did not fully realize at first that I was in fact on the CDC website.
There are all kinds of emergencies out there that we can prepare for. Take a zombie apocalypse for example. That’s right, I said z-o-m-b-i-e [...]
Mark Sharpe gave a presentation at today’s Exchange Club luncheon addressing the need for a transit plan for the Tampa Bay area and really seems to understand the value of providing mobility options and how it will affect people and organizations decisions to visit, relocate or do business here.

Surrounded by a coalition representing Florida businesses, media and city leaders, Governor Charlie Crist today announced a new incentive for Floridians to spend their money [...]
According to the Times, State Senators were not pleased to find that VisitFlorida outsourced marketing services to a company outside of the state.
VisitFlorida budgeted about $600,000 for one year to USA800, a Kansas City telemarketing firm, to field calls from and send brochures to tourists interested in vacationing in Florida.

The Times this week reported that bicyclists seek occasional use of Lee Roy Selmon Crosstown Expressway’s elevated reversible lanes, which are not open to traffic on Sunday mornings.
The elevated lanes of the Lee Roy Selmon Crosstown Expressway could become an occasional bicycle and pedestrian trail in the future, perhaps on Sunday mornings.

I don’t make it to downtown St Pete often for a night out unless I coordinate with a friend close by for a place to crash because driving is out of the question and a cab to pricey.
