Buy Local, Philly
Submitted by Howard on April 29, 2005 - 3:43am.
America's Hometown reminds us: May is "Buy Local Philly Month." It's a great time to remember (as Friedman mentions) that more money spent at locally-owned businesses tends to stay in the local economy than when we spend it at remotely-owned chain stores. |

Great idea
Howard, thanks for bringing this to our attention. I'm going to post this upper right on iFlipFlop...really good idea.
Thanks Frank
I figure a campaign like this could use all the attention it can get. I often lament the dominance of chain stores like Wal-Mart, but I don't always think much about promoting the local merchants, even though those are the ones I try to patronize most of the time.
