As we go to press this month, I am
constantly reminded that shopping
local is very important during this
day and age of Amazon and other
online giants. Can you imagine
what our downtowns would start
to look like if there were no retail
stores you could walk into to look,
touch and feel and actually talk to
someone about a product? If we

don’t start supporting our local businesses, this is eventually
what will happen. Our downtowns will start to look like
ghost towns. I urge everyone to shop locally first if and
whenever possible- and get out of the house from behind
your computer screens and phones. There really are some
nice people out there to help you find the best product and
service - locally.
Sincerely,
Deborah
Editor’s Notes
JULIA SMITH
Standing Straight. Read the amazing journey they take
to help children in India whom would otherwise live an
agonizing life or possibly die from severe scoliosis. Also
this month, we feature the Blue Glove Crew who help
clean up Solano Avenue - and it started with just one
man, Allen Cain whom many of you know from the Solano
Avenue Association. I love sharing what others are doing
to spread more good in the world.
Until next month,

Spring is in the air and so much
is happening near and far. I am
constantly amazed at how much
good there is in the world even
though the media seems to say
otherwise. It definitely doesn’t
take much if you truly start to look
for it. In this month’s issue, we
feature a nonprofit organization
started by a local surgeon called
SPECIAL!
