There’s nothing like a shot of caffeine to get the morning started. But what about a jolt to the economy? Toledo Choose Local, a non-profit with a ‘buy local’ mantra, aims to put a spotlight on the area business owners behind our morning joe with a citywide Coffee Cash Mob event on Saturday, May 4. The day-long celebration of locally-owned coffee shops and roasters works like this: visit your neighborhood shop that day (or a few in different neighborhoods), buy a cup of coffee, then hashtag the experience #ToledoChooseLocal with a photo or update on your Instagram, Facebook or Twitter. Participating shops include Black Kite Coffee & Pies in the Old West End, Plate 21 in Maumee and The Flying Joe in Levis Commons. For more information and a list of participating locations, visit facebook.com/ToledoChooseLocal or www.toledochooselocal.com. —AO
