  We like simple ideas that can instantly be turned into a potentially lucrative local business or even a worldwide enterprise. Check out Brooklyn-based Neighborhoodies, capitalizing on the dual trends of customization and community by selling cool, hi quality hooded sweatshirts emblazoned with hand sewn names of one's very own, very narrowly defined neighborhood. Big cities have always been about neighborhoods or even specific streets, so a Brooklyn Heights t-shirt says more than 'I Love NY'!

Launched just over three years ago, the company now boasts more than 35 employees, features in major publications like Newsweek and USA TODAY, and even real-world stores in Manhattan's South Street Seaport and in Los Angeles. They've also added T-shirts, undies, kids' wear, mail bags and even creative pet wear.     Neighborhoodies takes the always popular college sweatshirt to a whole new level. 

  

Which brings us to the very exciting opportunities that this small business idea has to offer entrepreneurs: there are literally thousands and thousands of city neighborhoods around the world, and strongly identifying with your 'hood' is by no means exclusively a New York thing.

For example here in Boise, Idaho, we are not exactly a big city, but someone could easily create sweatshirts like Boise Bencher, Eagleite, or Meridian Maiden....the possibilities are endless for virtually every city, big or small.

   Now it’s everyone’s turn to make their neighborhood the next big thing. It seems that every neighborhood worth its coolshould havea t-shirt or sweatshirt to match. Why not bring hip and cool to neighborhoods in your town? You can easily turn neighborhoods in your community into a fashion statement. In short, this idea is wide open to capture your own local market or even to quickly grab a portion of a national or worldwide market. See also 60 Second Ideas - Gimme a 'T' - Online.

Where can I buy one of those Vietnamese cone-esque hats?
What is that type of hat called anyways? I want one because I think it would be very good to wear gardening, my neck, ears, and face tend to burn in the hot Louisiana sun. It might be kind of a cool fashion statement anyway. I'd like to find a website that sells these.
