Bayview business notes

Folks collaborating to help businesses on Third Street report that eight new businesses opened up on the corridor in 2008. Among them are Auntie April's Soul Food Restaurant and Trendsetters.Below, FJ Cava is caught in a rare moment of relaxation in the entryway of his unique business, Webspot.

Webspot has has the creative attention of Traci Peace from Visions of LaModa (also pictured) who works with young women in the design field.

Visions of LaModa holds classes at Faith Temple Church on Oakdale, and took a group of youth last summer to New York City for a backstage experience of fashion week.

The collaboration between Webspot and Visions is a remarkable example of socially-responsible businesses working with the community for the benefit of all.
