In these difficult economic times, it is especially important to patronize your local neighborhood businesses. My wife and I are regular patrons of our local community stores in Little Neck on Northern Boulevard from Glenwood Street at the City Line to Marathon Parkway. Sadly, there are more and more vacant storefronts.
Why drive and waste time? There are so many great local businesses. Leave your car in the driveway, save some gas, say hello to neighbors and take a walk around the neighborhood to get some exercise.
Remember these people are our neighbors. They work long hours, pay taxes and provide local employment. If we don’t patronize our local community stores and restaurants to shop and eat, they don’t eat either.
Please join me and your neighbors in continuing to support our local businesses.
