I like to shop locally. The closest thing to on line buying I've done is bid on items from "ocean in a box", which is local. I have asked LFS to order what I want that they do not have on hand. I know that times are hard all over. I believe in the therory that what I spend to support the small store will stay in my area. I hope to continue that practice.
I like to be treated with respect & kindness when I walk in and happy when I leave. If thats what I get then you get my hard earned dime.
