Three local businesses at the General Store Shops & Cafe, 1875 Springfield Avenue in Maplewood, are celebrating Earth Day by doing what they do all year round — but with major specials
“It is very unique that SOMA has three sustainable businesses serving our community,” said General Store co-owner Deanna Taylor-Heacock, “and we have come together for an event at the General Store Shops & Cafe to celebrate Earth Day on April 27th from 12-3 p.m.”
