Tartan Gift Shop closing

[McFarkus]

I'm not touting any change of attitude or practices--not being political in any way--just suggesting that, as mentioned earlier, in a global market, our practices are truly global in their effect. Many of us--and I am gulity as well--lament the passing of mom and pop businesses and then shop at Walmart.

Following the documentary on Walmart, I've stopped shopping there and at Sam's Club. I try, when possible to patronized independent local merchants rather than chain stores. Not always easy.
