A bid for Local Businesses

Since the beginning of 'TeenZ', I have been looking at small local businesses in Windsor, which I visit and write an article about the next day. One key thing I have noticed when walking into the stores are things you see that you wouldn't always find in a major superstore. If you haven't heard of it already, there is a booklet available for free called MUG (Modern Urban Guide). In this booklet you will find stores in the Windsor area, their location, and a small information section on what the business is all about. You will be surprised at what you can find when you put your mind to it. And I'll be the first to admit, most of the businesses in the booklet I didn't even know existed. So it's very cool to walk into a place not really knowing what to expect. As for superstores such as Wal-Mart, Zellers etc...they all look the same, and sell the same. Maybe that's one reason why some people don't like going shopping? I don't know about Canada yet, but in other countries, small local businesses are dying out. Let's not make that happen here too.
