small business is an art
Just one of many reasons to patronize small, independently owned businesses: they are an art. Seriously, small business is raw creativity. Nothing gets run through a focus group or given special corporate marketing polish… small businesses are the unfiltered artistic expressions of their owners and operators. For example, I just ate for the first time at this little place a few blocks away from our apartment. I had always sort of wondered about it, so I decided to give it a try. It's on a strange block of businesses and not what I would consider a great location for foot traffic. The food was fine, the service was good and the decor was not to my taste but you could tell someone had a vision and designed the space accordingly. This place was the little bistro that the owner had always wanted to open. It was more than just a business, it was someone expressing themselves, making choices and putting the result on display for acceptance or rejection. It is almost impossible to have the same intimate experience in a large chain store where things are filtered down to a dull and homogenous finish. I like the feeling of being in someone's place. It makes the transaction so much more human.
