Shop local. Especially today.

A message from CM Bowser:

Neighbors-

I trust you had an enjoyable Thanksgiving and many of you have kicked off your holiday shopping this weekend.

I hope that you will consider doing some of your holiday shopping with a small business, and a majority of your shopping in the District of Columbia. The money you spend circulates locally and the taxes that you pay help pay for the services we count on in our City.

Just a few thoughts on Ward 4 (or close by) businesses that would love to see you this weekend and other times throughout the year.

If you need more incentive, Think Local First DC has initiated a Shop Outside the Big Box challenge, by which you may win a $2,000 shopping spree by supporting participating small retailers. Further info here.
