karbuchanan, It is up to you to put in your own time and sweat equity to build your own business. As many others have suggested, it is part of the necessary experience. Newbies often show up here and ask similar questions, which would just open a floodgate of more similar questions. This thread has listed some suggestions as to how to do your own research. Besides, the members who know the best shops in that area are likely your competition, and I am not sure they would want to give away their hard work to their competition.
