MSNBC Visits Maplewood Village
Downtown will be profiled on "Your Business" this Sunday.
Maplewoodians always knew the Village exemplified the spirit of Main Street America. Now the rest of America will find out.
MSNBC's "Your Business" program will feature Maplewood in a special Small Business Saturday segment that airs this Sunday, Nov. 18, at 7:30 a.m.
The visit came about when the show's producers remembered Maplewood from a story they had done on Words Bookstore two years ago.

Hosted by JJ Ramberg, "Your Business" focuses on the world of America's small business entrepreneurs, featuring profiles, news, advice and tips.
