Buy Local gains Traction!!
Many people who spend money need to know where to spend it. Also where they spend there money matters to many local businesses! In these hard economic times many small businesses have closed there doors, and the ones that can remain open are pulling together to try and gain "A local movement" Many are trying to get everyday shoppers away from the chain stores, where the lower prices and connivence are key. Would you shop Locally in Keene? Do you already?http://www.nuwireinvestor.com/articles/buy-local-movement-gains-traction-58355.aspx

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?
