Besides food and writing, one of my other huge passions is Bay View, and with the holidays upon us, I thought it was a great time to share just a few ideas to get you started shopping locally-owned businesses for the holidays:
1) Chocolates, Webkinz and all kinds of delectable goodies at Franklin's Fine Chocolates, 2474 S. Kinnickinnic Ave.
2) Wine and wine accessories from Dee's Wine Stop, 2327 S. Kinnickinnic Ave.
3) Massage / spa gift certificates at Hairy's Hair Bar, 2385 S. Kinnickinnic Ave. or massage / acupuncture gift certificates at Apple A Day Massage, 437 E. Lincoln Ave.
4) Dog grooming gift certificates at Embark Pet Spa, 1208 E. Oklahoma Ave.
5) Ice cream, custard, or cakes from Babe's Ice Cream, 2264 S. Kinnickinnic Ave. or Bella's Fat Cat, 2737 S. Kinnickinnic Ave.
6) Music and videos from Rush-Mor Records, 2635 S. Kinnickinnic Ave.
7) Family Photographs at Front Room Photography, 2637 S. Kinnickinnic Ave.

12) A really cool T-shirt at the Palomino, 2491 S. Superior Ave.
13) 40 percent off books at Broad Vocabulary, 2241 S. Kinnickinnic Ave., (due to their unfortunate going out of business sale)

15) Tickets to travel to Michigan on the Lake Express Ferry, 2330 S. Lincoln Memorial Dr.
