I try to shop local when I can. I support restaurants that are
   local as much as I can, especially. I have a thing about chain
   restaurants seeming as if they're local restaurants. Feels like
   I got fooled. I eat there anyway, but they're always 2nd
   choice.. With Walmart, you're right. It's the same way that
   Walgreens is destroying local pharmacies. In my case, it was a
   cheap computer keyboard and mouse for my new netbook. I'm
   particular, so I shopped @ four places before ending up at
   Walmart. They just happened to have what I was looking for. "
