Echo of a plea

Here is an issue near and dear to our hearts. Kristen Cook, writer and blogger for the Arizona Daily Star shares our concern for the health of our small business community. Cheers for the Tucson businesses mentioned, some of my favs as well.
Ms. Cook also highlights the 3/50 Project, started by former retailer, Cinda Baxter. This program makes a simple formula out of the economic impact of keeping spending local. Pick 3 independent businesses and spend $50 total between them each month. That gesture will keep our economy going and preserve the uniqueness of our city.
Shortly and sweetly, let me echo Ms. Cook's call:
Please shop locally owned businesses in Tucson.
Over 175 are listed in the Local First Arizona directory.
