In a world of Wal-Mart, Target, Cosco, and Sam's Club one is made to wonder what's happening to our cute small business's like whatever happened to the neighborhood butcher or fresh fruit stand at the Farmer' Market or now everyone buys flowers bulk at the grocery store instead of a Flowershop or the shoe repair store where now people would just buy new shoes. I know i sound like a grandpa saying this but the quality of things are just not adequate anymore, or like a vacuum store and if there was a problem they would fix it and the people at the grocery store would know your name. I mean what happened to the old fashioned way things used to be.

I hate to say it, but times have changed- I know maybe every other saturday my mom will make a trip to the Wilmette farmers market, but I think that's pretty much it. I haven't lived in a time in which the grocers know my name, but what is sad, is I know all the people that work at the Starbucks close to my house, and I'm pretty sure they remember me, too.
