'Mom and Pop' Project: A Focus on Small Business

We're going to launch a series of videos on mom-and-pop shops in and around Danville. But, first, what is a mom-and-pop shop? What does that actually mean?

Is it dictated by longevity? By who runs it? Does there need to be an actual mom and an actual pop?

Does a Norman Rockwell painting come to mind when you think mom-and-pop? An old married couple running a hardware store? Or can we think about this concept differently?

Let's talk about this and, as we discuss it, drop a few suggestions of local mom-and-pops we might include in this series.

Through these videos we hope three things:

• You'll get to know Danville that much better;
• Maybe there will be some small business lessons to be learned for you entrepreneurs out there; and
• You'll be entertained!

Tackle the questions and drop in some suggestions in the comment sections below.

Let's get started!
