Downtown Business of the Week (DTBOW) information

[KCPowercat]

Here is some general information about the Downtown Business of the Week (DTBOW) program:

Purpose:  The purpose of this program is to focus on downtown bars/restaurants/retail/services.  This is to show these businesses appreciation (aka love) for investing downtown as well as give all readers more exposure to what is available.  Everyone reading is encouraged to frequent this business as much as possible during that week.

- Weekly (usually Wed. night, Thurs AM) I will choose a business downtown* for each category.  I will post as much information as I know about the place (website, hours, address, etc) and update as I get more information.

- For each category every week, I will post the information in a separate thread in this room.  People are welcome to give reviews, comments, hints, etc. in that thread.  I would also encourage people to post on their own blogs their experiences.  Just link back here so people can understand what is going on.  Try to title your blog entry something about the downtown business of the week

- People are also encouraged to keep a running total of what they spend at these businesses per week so we can show the economic impact of this program...in case that information proves worthy in the future.

- Suggestions for businesses are welcome via PM to me.  The method of choosing the business is subject to change pending a better method of selecting.

- All decisions are final but are subject to change if I find the place doesn't exist, etc.


Thanks for giving this program a try.  I hope we can impact some businesses downtown in a positive manner.  I do not have any financial gain in any business I choose.


* For the purpose of this program, I will chose most businesses between the River, Bruce R. Watkins, Pershing Rd., and the West side neighborhood.  I may go as far south as 31st.
