What are your three?
The 3/50 Project is simple.
The idea is that if half the employed population spent $50 a month at 3 locally owned independent business, it would generate more than $42 billion in revenue. You're supposed to pick the three local businesses you would miss most if they vanished off the face of the planet, and make a conscious effort to spend $50 there a month. That's not much -- an awful lot of people spend $150 a month on their cell phone plans.
I think mine would have to be Loganberry Books, Sullivan's Pub, and Nature's Bin. (I'd pick Papa Nick's, but it's hard to spend $50 at Papa Nick's without getting fat.)
What would you pick?

1. Phoenix Coffee.
2. Loganberry Books.
3. Revive.
how can you tell if a business is independent and locally owned?
I imagine I easily spend more than that a month at bars. So that should count right? Cause they're not franchise bars.
In fact, if bars are in the equation, and pizza places, we probably all do more than our share.
How about restaurants and dry cleaners? My three in those departments:
1. Otto Moser's restaurant
2. Aladdin's restaurant
3. D.O. Summers dry cleaners
Not a local, but when I visit (once or twice a month), I consistently spend the most $$$ at:
1) Civilization
2) Prosperity Social Club
3) Visible Voice Books
It's hard to pick only three, as we have so many great local businesses. But, the three I can likely actually commit to spending $50/month at are:
1. The Greenhouse Tavern
2. AJ Rocco's
3. Chuppa's Market
1. Gamer's Haven
2. Greenhouse Tavern
3. Edison's Pub
1.Honey Hut
2.Civilization
3.Nate's Deli
