Shopapalooza embodies Small Business Saturday

Following Thanksgiving feasts, and sandwiched between Black Friday and Cyber Monday, comes a more personal shopping holiday vital to small businesses and local economies - Small Business Saturday.

St. Petersburg's Shopapalooza, now in its 12th year, will highlight around 365 area small businesses and creators when it returns to Vinoy Park this weekend. Event organizer Ester Venouziou said the festival is a way for people to ensure their money stays in the community.

The Catalyst interview: Drive-By Trucker Patterson Hood

Sonically, Drive-By Truckers are like Neil Young’s Crazy Horse, Exile-era Stones, the Replacements and Whiskeytown loaded into a blender set on Puree; they’re a crunchy-guitar band with country chord changes and lyrical songs that rise like molasses through the murk.

Patterson Hood has been one of the band’s two singing, songwriting frontmen since the earliest days; he and fellow guitarist Mike Cooley played together while students at the University of Alabama. Their band (Adam’s House Cat) broke up, and the two like-minded amigos met again in Athens – Georgia’s hotbed of hipster musicality – and created Drive-By Truckers in 1996.
