It's important to support the "Best Of" finalists, local business and advertisers in the NCJ during these challenging times ("Best of Humboldt," Aug. 6). Some of the businesses, products and services mentioned in these pages that I have been able to visit in the last year and recommend: Pierson's Supply, Gill's by the Bay, Eureka Natural Foods, Brick & Fire, Paul's Live from N.Y. Pizza, Café Waterfront, FoxFarm Soil, Dave's Place, Moonstone Crossing Winery, Phatsy Kline's, 707 Bar, Poletski's Appliance, Fin 'n Feather, S.T.I.L., Mantova's Music, McCrea Subaru, Jamie Corsetti CPA, Myrtle Ave Vets, Gosselin Tires, Satori Wellness and Murphy's Markets.

There are many other local businesses worthy of your patronage.
