Need some getting started information for Brothers new to the area?
We are looking to share our collective experience with local minority businesses in the Upstate area. As a start, we have started to maintain a list of minority business frequently by brothers for brothers and their family and friends (especially, new brothers to the area) on the brothers only site.
One Rule: You must have used the business and had a good experience with them.
Please suggest any additions or changes to Bobby Clark, Webmaster (history@gglapa.org).
