North Carolina Businesses
I would really love the opportunity to focus on some of the fine businesses here in North Carolina. We have some wonderful small businesses here and I know we have them, but I can’t possibly track them all down myself. I’m talking about the little local businesses, like the boiled peanut stand I stopped at the other week, whose name I failed to write down, because………uh, no reason there, except I failed to do it.
I was excited, then, to see this link in my email: Jacksonville Locksmith. I thought, woohoo, that’s local, I can certainly talk about that! Well, no. No, it’s not local. I’m not quite sure which Jacksonville they are talking about on that page, but I can tell you that it is NOT Jacksonville NC. I can tell that because the site has a list of other area cities that they serve, and I don’t recognize any of them!
I’m laughing at myself about this because it just proves how locality-centric I am. In spite of the fact that our Jacksonville is one of the smallest, it’s the only one on my radar. And when I search for something in Wilmington, I still get aggravated when Google gives me results in Delaware.
I’ll try to remember to drop you a list of some awesome hole in the wall local NC businesses from the western side of things sometime this week. Even though we live in SC, we’re right up there in the tip and it’s closer for hubby to work in NC/ us to shop there a lot, and Highlands and Cashiers are both filled with some of the most awesome little independent shops, especially when it comes to crafty things.
