You buffed. You shined. You commented on my behind.

Yep, Tony. I’m upping you a star, sir!

$40 to spruce up my favorite Johnston & Murphy hand-made Italian shoes for my launch party was the Deal of the Century. And, it took, what, a couple hours? New heels. New insoles.

Did I mention buffed and shined? Oh. Yep. I did.

Get your shoes a makeover at Tony’s. Tell ’em Thomas sent you!

The DPJ Yelper of the Week offers honest insight on a Downtown business to help you explore your core. DPJ hopes that by partnering with Yelp to spread the good word about well-loved Downtown spots, you’ll spread your patronage and support local business.

Yelp is a social networking and local search engine that provides the reviews of places and things that matter to you. Simply log in, pick a place and queue up your inner critic. You can write a beaming review of your favorite gelato spot, or a scathing portrayal of that rental car facility you had to use after that curb came out of nowhere. Yelp’s reviews are at once honest, uncensored, wildly hilarious and true. Heck, the site must be doing something right — it had 26 million viewers just last month!
