What people are saying:
Nedda Elizabeth from Aglow Apothecary
recommends the LocaL.
Our local business, Aglow Apothecary + Healing Haven, has been featured in several articles and advertisements since we opened last December. Monica and her team have shown extraordinary care and professionalism in helping us tell our story in a meaningful and impactful way.
As a small business (especially in this market), every decision and every dollar spent has to count... and it does with The Local. They get to know you, your values and mission, and your goals... and the results speak for themselves.
Our return on investment has been very positive, both financially and in terms of community recognition. We are very thankful for the personalized support and attention to detail that this publication provides.

Great resource! Saw this in Starbucks today for the first time, and I love it. Reminds me a little of Creative Loafing - one of my favorite local papers when I lived in the Atlanta area. Vibrant colors, great stories, and a diverse listing of upcoming events in the city!! Keep up the great work!!!
