Shopping local equals great service

Over the last months, I've had occasion to use a number of local businesses, including restaurants, auto repair, tire store, auto detailing, hardware, irrigation supplies, nurseries and gift shops.

All were terrific. I’d suggest that when choosing a business, folks should consider that our locals wouldn’t stay in business unless they gave great service. They may not have a national brand, but they have great reputations.
