Just last week we got a brand new, shiny Hannaford right here in town. That along with supporting the local farmer's markets and doing whatever possible right here in town. I'm a pretty faithful home-town kinda gal.
I agree completely, I do go to the big box stores like target, as you say we need to support our locals; so they stay in business. I grew up in the Mission area, and the little shops along Johnson Drive are an example,of course Brookside, Crestwood, etc.
The 3/50 Project is spreading the word about shopping local and small retailers. Both consumers and retailers can get involved. check it out and spread the word.
Thank you for taking the time to leave a message. I am quite willing to publish remarks that criticize me, but will likely delete disparaging remarks targeted at someone else.

Anon - I posted on 3/50 a few weeks ago and had their link in my margin for awhile - I should probably put it back up.
ReplyDeleteI do try to shop locally when I can! My DH is in KC right now...too bad I couldn't go with him..would have been fun to meet up!
ReplyDeleteI wholeheartedly agree!! I'm from a small town, and the big box store an hour away has not been kind to local businesses.
ReplyDeleteBest,
Michelle
