God, I can't wait to have a spare moment to read this. I am a huge, huge advocate for supporting small and local businesses. Everything from stores, to restaurants, to entertainment. Not all of them are shining examples of morality, accountability, etc., but they're a huge step up over faceless corporations (though some corporate giants have their place). I honestly think that it's one of the best ways to spend your money and that the benefits of supporting your local economy is well worth any premium in price.
