Patti C and I were talking about the sameness of most cities.
Think about it: if you were dropped down on one of the parking lots of one of the huge lengths of huge stores that are the same in every town, you could never guess if you were in St. Louis, Dallas or Memphis.
When we have guests in from out of town or we are visiting a new city, where do we go? To that parking lot? Never.
On those special occasions, we search out the small, the unusual, the local, because times of travelling and visiting with good friends are important and deserving of exceptional places that represent the best of our community.
Of course, those little shops need to be supported all year, not just when visitors are in town.
And I'm finding everyday is more of a celebration when shopping locally.
