About Blog

Hello Dear Readers,

My blog is about merchants in Port Jefferson, Long Island surviving the economic recession by clinging on to their shops and working extra hours to make ends meet.

I worked on this story for three months. I interviewed numerous of merchants in downtown and uptown Port Jefferson. Along with customers from the local stores. I also spoke to some officials from the Port Jefferson Village Hall.
I mainly told my story through one merchant. DJ Brown a shoe mechanic. His shop is located on 1512 Main Street, in uptown Port Jefferson.

I hope you learn something new from my blog. Click on the different pages up top to read my story, see my video, and other multimedia components. Feel free to comment. I am grateful for your time. Thank you.


Sincerely,
Christine Vargas
