The Gals Gab (and gab and gab and gab . . . !)

Orange the only fall color in Syracuse . . . “Here in Central New York, you cant say football without saying Syracuse! When my sons were growing up, they had jobs selling special edition newspapers to the fans at the SU football games. They did well making tips and sometimes got tickets to the games. All three boys are grown, but still huge fans. When Jared broke his arm a few weeks back, he used his cast as another way to show his loyalty to his team. Thanks to Mike at Biographix Tattoo for the cool airbrushing.” . . . Read more

Did you know that for every $100 spent in locally owned independent stores, $68 returns to the community through taxes, payroll, and other expenditures? If you spend that in a national chain, only $43 stays in the community. Spend it online and nothing comes home.
If half the employed population spent $50 each month in locally owned independent businesses, it would generate more than $42.6 billion in revenue. Imagine the positive impact if 3/4 of the employed population did that!
