You'll appreciate their mission. Thank you for promoting the independently own shops. I've always loved unique shops and that is a large reason why I have one now. Let's hope more people enjoy them like you!Madison Lanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01022593542276855220noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3601681386361026179.post-89351574246613327902009-11-05T10:27:32.252-06:002009-11-05T10:27:32.252-06:00Hey Marti,

I agree that it is better for the town in terms of developing/maintaining local character and the multiplier effect of keeping $ local. I recently moved out of a national bank and into a local credit union for this reason; all deposits stay local, are loaned out locally and none of the CU's profit goes to shareholders(because there aren't any!)<br /> <br />You are doing a good thing here!<br /><br />Best,<br /><br />JulietAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
