The Importance of Shopping Locally
Shopping locally keeps dollars in the community. There is a strong multiplier effect within the community for every dollar spent locally, whether it is for retail goods or services. For example, a dollar spent in a retail store may then be spent by the store owner to pay the rent on the store.
The landlord may spend the dollar at the grocery store, the grocer may spend the dollar at the gasoline station, the gasoline station owner may spend the dollar at the hardware store,
the hardware store owner may spend the dollar at the pharmacy, and so forth. It is when the dollar is taken down the road to the store in the next town or to a major corporation that the multiplier effect of that dollar is diminished.
Every dollar that a community member spends outside the community diminishes the economic health of the community.
This is not to say that to be a good citizen, one must shop for everything locally. Shopping tends to be a social event at times. A “shopping trip” can be cause for a day out, and it is vitally important to a community’s retail health to get shoppers from outside the community as well as those who live in the community.

JOE MOONEY of Stroudsburg is gearing up for his second solo show at Main Street Jukebox (www.myspace.com/mainstjukebox) in Stroudsburg Saturday June 6th 5-9pm (featuring DJ B-Gaffe spinning vinyl). Joe does commission paintings for clients all over the world as well as locally. His soft-styled portraits are an inspiration to all who see (and buy) them. I'll be getting Joe to take a breather and get into the ArtAttack Radio hot seat. We'll talk about his classic approach to painting, his views on our art scene and the art world in general. www.myspace.com/artistjoemooney
EARL KESSLER puts on the monthly Severed Sinema night at Stroudsburg's Sherman Theater once and has begun to set up one-night art shows in conjunction with his horror movie night. Earl also is a graphic design wiz and creates amazing posters for many of the Sherman's show and his own events. We'll let Earl speak his mind about horror flicks, art, graphic design and waaaaay more!
Thank You So Much! People Still Ask Us About That Show To This Day & When We Are Going To Do It Again. I Would Love To If Ever You Would Like Us To Perform Again.
