In response to Chris’s blog: Buy Local gains Traction!!


Would you shop locally in Keene?  Do you already?
I try to shop locally whenever I can because I know if I am spending my money for a good reason.  When money is spent on Main Street instead of nationally owned companies, local people win out.  These people are the ones you will see around town, and if everyone started to buy local these people would prosper and the local community will continue to increase.  I try to shop locally when I can but since I am a college student I don’t really have extra cash to help these businesses.  If I worked in Keene and was a part of the local community, I would definitely shop locally every chance I could to help my community.
Do you think the local movement will continue to grow and the nationally owned stores will have to change tactics to entice customers?
Do you think it is possible to have a whole community go local and stop buying from out of town owned companies?
