Sorry, I'm selfish when it comes to this type of thing. It's a convenience of self sorta thing. I use local businesses all the time, in fact, tomorrow I will be off to Howelett Lumber for some trim. I agree with you entirely, but there are times I wish the beach was in backyard, too.Wally Herseehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11052949223548827269noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1377411732843394854.post-84061340310395148052009-07-30T14:21:58.292-04:002009-07-30T14:21:58.292-04:00I think she like other thing as well.

If you give it some thought you might not wish for a Lowes or Home Depot down the street from your house.<br /><br />Next time you’re in Klems, Lameroux Greenhouse, Fortunatoes, Penney’s, Velvet Green, or County Line strike up a conversation with the staff and you might realize that supporting local business is more important than the convenience of having a Lowes or Home Depot down the street.<br /><br />Our society sometimes gets caught up in quantity and loses interest in quality. We need to have more, more, more and we need to have it now, now, now. Big Box Retail comes at a cost. It creates traffic, which in turns has in impact on our air quality. It takes away decent jobs offered by locally owned businesses. It impacts small businesses, which often are owned and operated by local families.<br /><br />Sure there are times that we need to rely on Home Depot, but for those times is a twenty minute drive that big a chore? I don’t think so.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
