Buy Local

Austin is fortunate to have an economy driven by undeniably thoughtful, educated, honest and creative individuals.  Let’s be sure we keep it that way by supporting hometown talent and professionalism directly with our patronage.  There are so many compelling arguments why we should do so…preserving our culture…maintaining our community…cutting down on transportation cost and waste. But here’s a very simple fact: shopping at locally owned businesses puts three times the dollars into the local economy as it would if you spent the same with a national chain. That’s in good times or bad (and all the more relevant now given the grueling recession we’re all living through).  You’ve heard it said “think globally, act locally.” There might not be a more effective, more inclusive way you can personally help fix the global economy than to support your preferred local vendors.
