re: #439 allegro

I absolutely agree with you and it saddens me. Part of the problem now I think is that there aren’t as many old-timers like myself who actually remember the town square and shopping at stores where we knew the owners and their families. We knew what it meant to get good service and what that community felt like.

There is a movement afoot for buying locally that I encourage at every opportunity. It’s better for all.

There’s a lot that local governments can do to encourage people to shop locally. However, if you are a busy mom, only having to drive to one place has it’s values.
