A number of businesses in the local area and further afield advertise around the TMP neighbourhood, whether it be on the message boards or old paper advertising. Here are some of them.
((This is a list of player-created businesses. To use them in a game, you can contact them via these boards, IC in this forum and OOC in the ISRP General forum. Alternatively you could PM a relevant screen name on these boards or perhaps find them on the chat site.
Please note that not all businesses freely deal everything that can with the general public and respect their players wishes if a deal is not granted.
Businesses added to this list may be added to the TMP website if approved. Generally the businesses on the website are within the TMP neighbourhood, or at least New York city. Businesses may be added to the neighbourhood map if the map maker has time and inclination. She is a volunteer after all, updating our maps out of the kindness of her heart.))

La Fiamma di Miele
"The Honey Flame" Cafe
Commonly refered to as "the Flame", La Fiamma di Miele is a cafe and on-site bakery that specialises in goods cooked in a flame-heated stone oven. The Flame sells hand-made breads and pastries, as well as offering hot light meals or snacks on request and a range of non-alcoholic drinks such as coffee, real fruit juice and a small selection of sodas and health/energy drinks, mostly by less widely known brands (not Coca Cola, Pepsi or Dr. Pepper).
The atmosphere is warm and friendly, with an emphasis on small and casual. (The owner is a 5th generation local family man although the cafe itself has only been around for about 5 years.)
La Fiamma also has two staff to deliver in the local area, although there is usually a minimum purchase or else a delivery fee will apply.

Patel's Fine Prints
This is a little print shop around the corner. Outside, the neon sign says: "Patel's Fine Prints". The atmosphere is rather dingy and disorganized, with many papers and crates on the shelves. In the back is a locked door that has a sign saying "Storage Room" and stairs leading up to a small apartment. A tall,
disinterested man with stringy dark hair and a slight stoop attends the counter, often at the computer.
Patel's Fine Prints provides all sorts of paper-related services, such as printing, photocopying, and stationary and is owned by Thomas Patel. He also has many maps and a selection of antiquated documents.

Impressions
Owner: Gabriella Ballard
Dealings: Artistic goods - paints, canvas, clays, inks, drawing material, poster, paper, parchment, ect.
Description: The place is something of a diamond in the rough, a barely known gem when it comes to supplies for everyone from painters and sculptors to sketch-artists and interested hobbyists. The first three floors of the building make up the store, with an enclosed flight of stairs on the side of the structure for accessing the upper floors. Ceiling-to-floor shelves line all three floors, leaving little walking room save the front half of the bottom
floor, each and every one stacked to its maximum. Though definitely not the place for a claustrophobic, it seems to give off a close, warm feeling, especially with the excessive color of products and items.
The first floor is home paints and materials, ranging in a wide variety of colors and styles. Paints, finishes, thread, clay, color wheels, coatings, oil, pastels, lettering tools, and even things so farfetched as nail polish are in great supply. Shelves are clearly marked, lending a certain amount of ease to a search.
One floor up is devoted entirely to board material. Many of the shelves are refitted to hold sheets other flat objects. Acrylic sheets, easels, Bristol boards, illustration boards, canvas, newsprint paper, fabric sheets, foam board - if one can name it, it' probably there. Open space is lacking, the stairwell opening into an aisle, as does the one leading up across the room.
The third and final floor is only half used, the other half walled off for storage. Utensils, gliders, brushes, scalpels, hammers, photo gear, fluting tools, among other things gather in large numbers along every surface.
Bulkier materials, like sculpting stone or mass quantities of clay, aren't kept in huge amounts. Ordering the lot isn't all that difficult, nor is their any trouble in doing so - there just isn't enough room to hold it on hand.

The "Blast Zone"
Owner: Jet
Goods: Boy Scout and Active Lifestyle items- electronics, camping and survival gear, patches, decorative and real weapons and guns, and some low cost computer games, music, and novelty (in good taste) items
Description: The Blast Zone, or just Blast Zone, is shop of many things. The place is designed to look like a bomb shelter with its thick glass, door, brick, and an antenna on the roof. Also on the windows besides monogrammed words telling what is sold are five stickers that someone who knows boy scouts would
know as the Radio, the Backpacking, the Archery, the Rifle Shooting, and the Shotgun Shooting merit badges. The owner, Jet is an Ex-Boy Scout with an affinity for the program. Most, if not all of the items in the store can be tied into Boy Scouts. While that may see strange, it is no stranger then Jet's open
mind. The novelty signs on the door that say such things as Mutants Welcome (with a three eyed smiley) seem a bit more serious with a "No Smoking" sign right below it. Inside is a few aisles made by small shelves and a glass display case/desk running around the store. While Jet does welcome just about anyone into his shop with a smile and a kind word, one should not expect to use his shop to escape law enforcement if they have committed a crime.
