Becky, you are right, people will waste gas, when the same products can be found at home. I don't shop the big boxes, unless there is an emergency. <BR/><BR/>I actually entered a Wally World this morning looking for wide mouth canning jars. They didn't have them either.Wisteriahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01646131135706997373noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21359414.post-72874097810453021082008-08-30T17:15:00.000-05:002008-08-30T17:15:00.000-05:00This seems to be the way it goes with most indepen...This seems to be the way it goes with most independent stores, whether they sell books or clothes. The Wal-Mart down the road is adding on to become even bigger, gag. Fortunately, most of the stores in our town are able to hang on because people like me just aren't willing to spend the money on gas to go further than we need to.

We need to bring back the entrepreneurism our country was built on. We need to do it fast, before we lose all of our downtowns to ugly, cold, box stores.<BR/><BR/>I'm sad, Wisteria. Yellow Dog Books having to close is as depressing as my mother considering buying a next-door neighbor's home that is about to go into foreclosureJenniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07802695378617927299noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21359414.post-85177496203851591722008-08-30T13:07:00.000-05:002008-08-30T13:07:00.000-05:00That is too bad.
