Celebrate Your Independents
As we take time out to celebrate our national independence this week, Criminal Records (with their sweet new web site) invites us all to take the following pledge during National Independents Week:
Repeat after Criminal Records.
“I hereby take the pledge to buy locally during National Independents Week, June 30 through July 6, to help celebrate the diversity and vibrancy that makes me proud to call Atlanta home.”
Don’t you feel better already?!
Criminal has a list of reasons why shopping with your local mom and pops’ is the best choice for building strong communities. Support your local retailers and restaurants! Yes we can!

It’s about time somebody around here spoke truth to power.
The cheese Fellini’s uses on its pizza tastes like butt.

That would be the opposite of being supportive of our locals. But you’re not local. On the other hand, that is also crazy talk.

Is it so crazy?
I am a former longtime and now occasional local, and I vastly prefer the even more independent Grant Central.

I think the old saw about topics that should be avoided in polite company should be expanded: politics, religion, and pizza.
Grant Central would have worked, too.
