I'll support local if it's worth it. Just because something is local doesn't mean it's worth my business. But I do make an effort to go local over asshole corporations.

Hate it when people go to check stuff out at the local store and then go buy same product online. The guy working at the store down the street is your neighbor.

I support Hallmark for sure and will try to make an extra effort to get a Hallmark card if I can. Fortunately, they are fairly readily available in the stores that I shop in the Sacramento area. They've made lists of America's top employers and have done great things in Kansas City, including the development of Crown Center, one of this country's most significant private-sector urban redevelopment efforts. I know they also make an effort at farming out some of their printing work to small businesses: one of my friend's used to get jobs from them for their minority-owned print shop. I like how that company does things and their commitment to producing a quality product. Those are more important to me than the fact that the company is local. But when a company is local, you tend to get a better handle on how well they do things and their commitment to quality. It seems to me that Boulevard Brewing is a good company, too, but I'm no longer a resident of KC, so my hunches may not be as good in their case.

I'm with you, though as far as not considering large corporations to be "local." I live in NWA, but I don't consider Wal-Mart to be a local company. Even though they do a ton of great things for our area, I don't support them over other competitors (like Target).

yes, I do quite a bit of local biz. probably spent $40k locally this year. I buy from the outdoor market every weekend and I buy local meats/milk, dog food, fencing, gear, labor... and I do this intentionally.

Sprint's service is truly garbage. I pay $30 a month for 4G I have no access too where I live, and I have for some time. If it wasn't for the $30 discount I get every month that offsets it, I would bounce for Verizon in a heartbeat that already has 4G where I live. Wifi access almost everywhere I go allows me to choose being frugal and going with the lowest overall cost from my carrier, and Sprint has truly unlimited data going for them. At some point though, I can see the relationship ending unless they do a major upgrade to their towers out here sooner rather than later.
