[SHOPPING] There’s no getting around it, even if the thought of going to Walmart at midnight on Friday or whatever crazy time the corporate overlords deem suitable to end a perfectly good, basically commercially vacant and totally inclusive holiday like Thanksgiving, Black Friday is a big deal and a key indicator of the overall health of the economy. And we’re here to tell you that the greatest power you have in your community is where and how you spend your money, so get out there this Saturday to the nearest local business district: Elmwood Village, Allentown, Hertel Avenue, Williamsville, East Aurora, Village of Hamburg, Downtown Buffalo, Abbott Road and spend like a drunken sailor up and down small businesses. Keep your precious money in the hands of your neighbors, whenever possible. Not only will you most likely find better gifts, but you’ll be making this small business proud.
