New Facebook Group Created to Help Support Yakima Restaurants
The latest casualty that shocked some was the announcement that downtown
Yakima staple, the Sports Center, was officially throwing in the towel. Many of us have tried to do our best to shop and support local businesses but now the effort is becoming more concerted thanks to the brainchild and effort of Facebook user Riley Wilkinson.
Wilkinson, on Monday (February 1st), created a Facebook group page called Yakima Food Mob . The idea, according to Wilkinson, the page s administrator, is to coalesce everyone to support one particular restaurant once a week as based upon a vote of the users.
