Seems these days the big boys are shoving the corner store into extinction. In my neighborhood we just lost our (last) corner drugstore to CVS and Walgreens [~sigh~], progress. Now that we have a new Jiffy Lube, I imagine our local grease monkeys will have to apply for a job or pass into oblivion as well. As for local grown food? I've been doing that b-yard gardening thing. Now THAT is tasty stuff! And rewarding too. To plant a seed and some months later prepare it for supper-ah now THAT is a sense of accomplishment!

I live in a small city now, and have the same issues here. I am a complete fan of locally grown, but our locally grown here is 2-3X the cost or the big boys - which is different compared to what we had at the bigger city. We had a CSA that was affordable, that I volunteered at - to know you are eating the fruit of your own labor is comforting to the soul. What a beautiful post!
