Always wondered about stories like these, are they paid for commercials?

Nope. Normally, if a small urban core business shoots us an email and invites us for a tour of operations, we try to provide some coverage.

I thought this was a good story, because small businesses like this don't get a lot of coverage. Especially in places like Springfield (which is a bit off the beaten track for local retail).

Good for them, and it's a pleasure to read about their enthusiasm for their mission and the neighborhood.

This is an excellent business for Springfield and Greater Jacksonville. I've never visited Springfield during the daytime only at night for Three Layers & The Pearl (when it operated). Absolutely love the neighborhood and it's potential :)

Also, "Brooklyn" was recently named model of the month by "Liberated Women's Magazine http://lwomagazine.com/model-of-the-month-brooklyn/ ." Maybe we have a future celebrity in our midst  8)
