"Why Buy Local?" LIBA will elaborate on January 27.

From the Louisville Independent Business Alliance (LIBA), an invitation to Keep Louisville Weird by shopping locally ... and attending a January 27 presentation by Stacy Mitchell, author of "Big Box Swindle."

Ann and I (the whole store in fact) are privileged to attend the ABA's Winter Institute this weekend and we couldn't be happier to be having lunch with Stacy Mitchell (Big-Box Swindle, The Hometown Advantage), Michael Shuman (Small-Mart Revolution), and Bill McKibben (Deep Economy).

There will be more shop-local first brain power in the room during that event than we're likely to see.

I join with The New Albanian in encouraging people to attend Sunday's Rainbow Blossom event.

While there may be a place for the mainline commerce cheerleaders, an organization with a focus on independent businesses stands a better chance of building a solid, sustainable and appropriate economic environment benefitting the greatest number of people in a community.

Tip O'Neill made it into Bartlett's Quotations with "All politics is local." I think a good case can be made for, "All prosperity is local."
