John and Mark from John’s Crazy Socks are back! Here's what’s on their minds tonight: Special Olympics Winter Games, John’s love life, World Down Syndrome Day is coming, supporting people with differing abilities in today’s cultural and political climate, and whatever else might pop into John’s mind.
Business of the Week: Sweet Jordan’s. Located in Paris, Tennessee, Sweet Jordan’s serves up delicious homemade treats while raising awareness for an even sweeter cause. The family-owned business started with Jordan St. John, son of Tommie and Brad St. John. Jordan, who was born with Down syndrome, always loved cooking and baking with his father.
In 2017, he and his parents worked together to turn that passion into a business that has since become a beloved local bakery and an asset to the community. Sweet Jordan’s not only serves handcrafted ice cream, freshly baked cookies, sandwiches, espresso, smoothies and more but also hires adults with special needs like Jordan, honoring their slogan: “Focusing on abilities, not disabilities.”
Good News Story of the Week: Texas Rangers infielder Jake Burger will wear number 21 this season to honor his daughter, Penelope.
