    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.

    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.

    I wholeheartedly agree!! I'm from a small town, and the big box store an hour away has not been kind to local businesses.

    Best,
    Michelle

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.
