REMEMBER TO SHOP LOCAL

Think local first + Buy local when you can = Being a local!

 

Local stores in town centers require comparatively little infrastructure and make more efficient use of public services.

REMEMBER WHEN

Topping the Billboard Hot 100 chart this week in 1986 was "Walk Like an Egyptian" by The Bangles. It stayed atop the chart for four weeks. The song is the first song by an all-female group playing their own instruments to top the Billboard singles chart.
