brew awakenings spotlight
12:52PM by Brandon McCormick | Cetagories: Uncategorized
The following is a product of Whitestone’s Protege Program. Written and directed by Asher Emmanuel.
When I want a quiet place to drink coffee and work, how often will I drive past dozens of local establishments just so I can experience the familiarity of Starbucks? Or how often do I find myself complaining about the increasing grip corporate business have on our elected officials, and do so while eating at (insert chain restaurant)? I don’t mean to suggest corporations are evil, but I confess its easy for me to overlook local small businesses right in my own community.
Brew Awakenings is one such business, and I’m drawn to it because it offers me a third place. A place that isn’t home or work yet a place where I finish that script or get away from the hectic rush of life. Its a place where I can say “give me the usual” and Jenni Rowell (owner) will serve me accordingly. I encourage you to seek out local businesses in your community and discover a place you can identify with.
In this spirit we can live in community.
