It's late, but I'm determined to continue posting from now until years' end to promote the idea of supporting local small and family run businesses in Northeastern Pennsylvania. Tonight I mention Mad Tees and it's owner Maudeen Ratchford. Located on Main Street in Dupont, Mad Tees does all kinds of screen printing, embroidery and produces various types of promotional products. I would have no way of knowing exact numbers, but I'd imagine that Maudeen and her staff have donate...d tens of thousands of free or discounted shirts for charitable causes. Mad Tees offers top quality products at reasonable prices. A complete description of products and services offered can be found at Mad Tees website.

Only a few days from Christmas, so I'll be squeezing in several "Support Local Business" posts over the next few days. Today I give props to one of my favorite places in NEPA: Napoli's Pizza. Their pizza shop is the definition of "Family Business". Antonio and Tiffany Costagliola run the shop with the help of their three daughters, Sofia, Maia and Nadia. I can remember the girls being 8 or 9 years old, and coming into the dining room to take my order. Hardworking doesn't beg...in to describe the Costagliola family. There is lots of great pizza throughout Northeastern Pennsylvania. But for my money, the Grandma's Pizza at Napoli is the very best of them all. Napoli's is located on Main Street in Pittston.

I'm a little behind on my posts in support of local businesses, so I'm posting a few today. My second restaurant post today asks you to support Callahan's Cafe and Coffee House. Michael Callahan offers fantastic lunch offerings, including soups, salads and some of the best sandwiches in town. I don't drink coffee, but the quality and variety of java Mike offers is unparalleled in the area. Callahan's also specializes in catering, and can handle parties both large and small. He also offers Penn State Creamery Ice Cream. Callahan's Cafe is located on Main Street in Pittston. Help Callahan's have a successful 2021.

Missed making a post yesterday, as Christmas duties called. Today I will mention a few businesses in the food and beverage industry, which have been hit very hard by the pandemic. The Red Mill Tavern has been a fixture in the Pittston community for over half a century. Over the past few years, owners Rob and Linda Johnson have extensively updated and renovated. They have awesome food. But even more significantly, they have always given back and supported fundraising efforts of many, many charitable groups. Stop in to the Red Mill for a drink or a great meal once the pandemic restrictions have been lifted. I highly recommend the Red Mill Sandwich.

Day 3 of the 12 days of local businesses.... Computer Visionaries, Inc. (also known as CVI). In business locally since 1992, CVI offers a wide range of IT services, too numerous to list here. PC sales and service, IT networking, website design and development, home security.... See their website or their Facebook page for all of the finer details. Owned and operated by David Flaim and Amy Flaim, who are great at what they do, and also wonderful people. In the past few years, they saved my office laptop from a hard drive crash, and helped me design and develop my office website (www.nepaaccidentlawyer.com or www.wassellaw.com - check it out!).
